Now and then he feels alone

And even though

he can't return

He jumps off the buildings

in his eyes

He's painting red marks

on his skin

It goes to show what

hides within

And he says

it feels so good

to fly so high



When he goes,

the world's a circus

why do I get so nervous

every time I get stuck in between

myself and I we're doing fine

I'd like to get some peace of mind

I'm working up the courage not to scream

I'm wishing that a quiet night comes in



He's starring at my face

Sometimes your

laughter leaves a trace

He says to me,

And I know just what he means

He is completely fascinated

With me, I feel so overrated

He's decorating

all my thought in shades of green

(with yellow sunbeams)



When he goes,

My world's a circus

Have you noticed how I'm nervous

Every time a quiet fight begins

I guess that things are not that great

I'd like to try and mitigate

I'm wishing that a quiet night comes in

Still wishing that a quiet night comes in



He brings me truth

in candy wrapper

And asks for proof

I'll love forever

And make up stories

to play out into a scene

He is completely fascinating

When he sits and contemplating

About the world

that he's creating in his dreams



When he goes,

just under surface

smiling people makes me nervous

'Coz I know it's not really what they mean

and if I feel locked in a cage

he'll turn my world into a stage

'coz he knows, all I want to do is sing

I'm still wishing,

That a quiet night comes in
