expression like glass

baby you were standing
right in front of me
and as easy as it is for me to step up
and say hello
i can't find my feet
so i stay alone

there you were standing
right in front of me
but you were looking the other way
and i guess you couldn't hear
me calling out your name

finally you turn
your eyes meet mine
my heart paces one beat at a time
but you weren't pleased
so i hang my head
and sit tight

so paint the grass blue and call it the sky
because i'll be staring at the ground until the butterflies subside
so catch the wind and whisper sweet
because maybe then it will guide my feet gently back
to where you are
that's the only place
you're ever gonna find me

patience wears and tears
my eyes are glued
is this what i've bargained for?
now i'm stuck on you
watch you dance around words
yeah, they're dancing you right out of my view
well i hope you find something to live for
even if its not me

so paint the grass blue and call it the sky
because i'll be staring at the ground until the butterflies subside
so catch the wind and whisper sweet
and maybe then it will guide my feet gently back
to where you are
thats the only place
i want you to find me

its not like we've done anything wrong
but the silence was wasted for oh too long
and i've just been waiting
for you to find me

an expression like glass makes me breakable
expression like glass means i'm breakable
