outside your door
originally written 04.20.03

i'll stay outside your door--
it's warmer here, even if
the coast isn't so clear...
eventually it will be,
this situation won't kill me.
i'm refusing to dive too deep--
i'm not gonna lose any sleep--
but...

i'll be outside your door--
waiting for something more.
maybe it'll come, maybe it will not.
i'd love to get caught
up in this downfall.
this wall between the two
of us will never do...
it'll crumble...soon...i hope.
if it doesn't i'll cope.
but...

i'll be outside your door--
watching the waves crash against the shore.
maybe you'll come outside...
if you did, would you notice me?
or would you just walk by?
i wouldn't want to join you inside.
not just yet...i'm going on a safer bet.
i'd rather you sit out here by my side...
watching the sunset against the tide.
