Still Life

I've been riding with my back to the window of the L train Dwelling in the nighttime, in the middle of the day A man is preaching about consequence and truth I'm too busy thinking what I'm gonna say to you A sophisticated daydream, you can hear no sound As you slam into a bar room, and the curtain's coming down I look to ya to show me what I'm worth You look through me and I crumble to the earth What's the name of that Manet Where she's staring through your heart? Like a still life with you in view I see it so clear, but nothing moves And it's like time slows (Time slows) when I see you The light falls (Light falls), the perfect hue A still life with you in view Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na The complicated chaos, turning something into nothing The subtle truths that used to slay us No longer leave your heart jumping When I feel that I am stealing just to look Is that the moment where a wall becomes a book? I'm looking at your profile and you're rhyming with the round Staring at your black shirt with the buttons coming down I can't tell if I am scared or if I'm smart I have learned I can't always trust my heart What's the name of the road not traveled? Is your mind made up? In this still life with you in view I see it so clear, but nothing moves And it's like time slows (Time slows) when I see you The light falls (Light falls), the perfect hue A still life with you in view Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
