Silently watching without saying a word
You live by the pen I live by the sword
But still my desire is fast growing
But still my desire is fast growing

I don't really know you
I don't really care
From the first time I saw you
I wanted to share
My future was yours
If you wanted

Everyday glances
For seconds at a time
Staying out of your sight
Like a felon after a crime
Was I the hunter?
Or maybe hunted at my prime?

Silently watching without saying a word
You live by the pen I live by the sword
But still my desire is fast growing
But still my desire is fast growing

But my future was
Just around the corner from me
If this isn't love
What else could it be?
Looking through the keyhole
Trying helplessly to see
If you'll be so kind
As to give me the key

Silently watching without saying a word
You live by the pen I live by the sword
But still my obsession is fast growing
But still my obsession is fast growing
