lyrics

Just witnessing this afternoon, it never seemed so real.
Wish I could tell you, you give me thrills, always too far past the hill.

I could never buy you love, I've got no standing here.
I don't know where to start, the peak's rising and all I hear is your name.

So far from the truth, I stood by you and fade under their shoes.
Wish I could take you, no access to the tickets to your dreams.

I'll never own a place in that list of a million names.
Am sure mine's down the drain, while I'm drifting sideways and watching you smile.

This rain parade from this grandstand, the colours seem to change.
From day to night, I’m wearing thin, the voices in my head.

Call it simply self esteem, I punch and grit my teeth.
I'm slowing losing it to this midnight crush of faults.
I'll never be at ease to smile, to smile.
