Standing In The Doorway Lyrics by Soul Asylum

Standing In The Doorway Lyrics

    Standing in the doorway
    Wondering if it's safe to go outside
    Wondering if i'll come back
    Wondering if i might just drift out with the rising tide
    Sitting and waiting and hoping to find
    Something you're good at to use up your time
    To crawl from the ocean and lie on the shore
    A moonbeam the rests on the dust on your floor

    I'm not going out there
    Don't try to tell me i'm paranoid
    Wouldn't say i'm not scared
    Though it may be safe to say that i am annoyed
    In the intersection traffic lights are red in all directions
    Everyone breaks the law sometimes
    We all break down have foolish pride and
    Beg for some affection
    I can't say i know how you feel everyone seems to know
    Are you sure i would if i could help you remember
    What it's like to feel good
    Chitter and chatter and everything matters
    I ask how you're feeling
    And you just act shattered
    Asleep on the couch with your eyes open wide

    Standing in the doorway
    Waiting as you come and as you leave
    You say get out of my way
    Won't you stop and talk about the hectic life you lead
    They're all going somewhere
    They all have some place they have to be
    Maybe i should join them
    I wish i could i think i have to stay here with me
    It brings a tear to your eye to get out into the open
    I can't believe i see myself
    Coming into focus
