In the Corner

When i look at you I don't know what i'm supposed to do I just take a seat In the corner When you're coming to Every single time you're just like new We tell you where you are Why we're with you I didn't know a day could move this slow I'm feeling all the time I didn't know to hold tight or let go I'm looking for a sign Can they fix you in time I sit in the corner as the tv shows Something you can't see Eyes all washed out by the morphine And when you find the strength To wake up to the room We get hopeful in the icu That you'll still be you If you pull through When you look away I don't know what i'm supposed to say I'm picking my guitar Hope that's ok Get well bouquets Headed to the spot where mom crochets A bittersweet parade Through the doorway I didn't know A week could move this slow I'm feeling all the time I didn't know To hold tight or let go I'm looking for a sign Can i make things alright Can i play Something soft enough To dull the pain Something light and sweet Can i find a way to rearrange Every little beep that comes From these machines Into your paternal symphony With your weary heart on timpani Can it lift the nurses off their knees Can it put the surgeons all at ease Can it cure the world of disease Can i play something to keep you here Can i play something to quell our fear Can i play something to make things clear Can i play something to keep you here Can i play something to keep you here Can i play something to keep you here Can i play something to keep you here Can i play something to keep you here Will you still be you If you pull through
