• The other side of the window pane

    He told me it’s my turn to run away
    It’s not as if I meant much to him
    I knew he had a plan, I knew I made hi-im slow down
    But I just need to get away
    Falling faster this time
    Finding some place safe so I can admit it to myself and say

    I’m not as brave as him
    Never was, never will be
    I can’t face up to things the way that he did
    No wonder he said all those things
    About how I understand no more than pure simplicity
    And right now I know he won’t remember my name
    He just knows me as the girl on the other side of the window pane

    The last image I have left of him
    Is an outline in the frosted glass behind
    Frozen in time, frozen in my mi-ind steadily
    Keeping my eyes shut
    Locking memories inside
    I wish there was something else left for me to show but

    I’m not as brave as him
    Never was, never will be
    I can’t face up to things the way that he did
    No wonder he said all those things
    About how I understand no more than pure simplicity
    And right now I know he won’t remember my name
    He just knows me as the girl on the other side of the window pane

    Maybe we’ll meet again
    Or maybe we already did
    Without me recognising the blankness in a peasants face
    What I wouldn’t give for another subtle chance
    To say his name and for him to look back
    Without another classic verbal attack
    Oooh

    I’m not as brave as him
    Never was, never will be
    I can’t face up to things the way that he did
    No wonder he said all those things
    About how I understand no more than pure simplicity
    And right now I know he won’t remember my name
    He just knows me as the girl on the other side of the window pane
