In the corner of my eye
You are swimming in the deep
And I find things to distract me
From my urge to fall asleep
And you’re climbing towards the diving board
Well this can only end one way
And in the corner of my eye
You are carrying routines
And I’m sitting here unmoving
Hoping you don’t make a scene
As you try to make your dream to wake
Well you remind me of myself
‘Cause in the corner of your eye
I am shrinking to a speck
And I feel my stomach drop
Every time you turn your neck
And I wonder how we fell so far
From things I know I heard you say
But now my anticipation
Turns to lack of appetite
And in the corner of your eye
I am just a paler white
And I don’t know where the hell we are
I guess you like it best that way
In the corner of this room
Is a piano old and worn
We don’t play our favorite songs
For they sound oh so forlorn
And all the things we thought were here to stay
Now are falling through the cracks
And in the minds of you and me
Are only thoughts of what we lack
But maybe all is for the best
And all I do is hold you back
