I sit here surrounded by people and lights,
Alone with my drink at the bar.
You’ve been here forever, so clear in my mind,
I just don’t know where you are.
I know I’ll find you, but girl ’til I do,
This is my love song for you.

Let’s hold hands on the porch swing, under the moon
While the wind through the willows plays us a tune
We can lie on a blanket, out back in the yard
And wish for our future on a far-away star
You’ll feel the passion as time after time,
I press your sweet lips to mine
We can dance to the radio, right up ’til dawn
‘Til you drift off to dream in my arms

You might be hundreds or more miles away
Or you might be just down the street
But there’ll be a hunger deep in your eyes
That I’ll recognize when we meet
It might take hours or it might take years
But this is the song you will hear

Let’s hold hands on the porch swing, under the moon
While the wind through the willows plays us a tune
We can lie on a blanket, out back in the yard
And wish for our future on a far-away star
You’ll feel the passion as time after time,
I press your sweet lips to mine
We can dance to the radio, right up ’til dawn
‘Til you drift off to dream in my arms

You’ll feel the passion as time after time,
I press your sweet lips to mine
We can dance to the radio, right up ’til dawn
‘Til you drift off to dream in my arms

There’s a girl
Who sits under the bleachers
Just another day, eating alone.
And though she smiles
There is something just hiding
And she can’t find a way to relate.
She just goes unnoticed
As the crowd passes by.
And she’ll pretend to be busy
When inside she just wants to cry

And she’ll say:
“Take a little look at the life of Miss-Always-Invisible
Look a little harder, I really, really want you to
Put yourself in her shoes.
Take another look at the face of Miss-Always-Invisible
Look a little closer, and maybe then you will see
Why she waits for the day
When you’ll ask her her name”

In the beginning, in the first weeks of class
She did everything to try and fit in
But the others they couldn’t seem to get past
All the things that mismatched on the surface
And she would close her eyes when they laughed
As she fell down the stairs.
And the more that they joked,
And the more that they screamed,
She retreated to where she is now.

And she’ll sing:
“Take a little look at the life of Miss-Always-Invisible
Look a little harder, I really, really want you to
Put yourself in her shoes, shoes, yeah
Oh, take another look at the face of Miss-Always-Invisible
Look a little closer, and maybe then you will see
Why she waits for the day
When you’ll ask her her name”

Then one day, just the same as the last
Just a days spent in counting the time
Came a boy that sat under the bleachers
Just a little bit further behind…

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
You know it’s hard
When you know it’s time
Leaving all you know behind
There’s what you need, then all the rest
Please forward to new address

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

You know the storm before the calm
When there’s no room to swing your arms
As we’re looking through our prison bars
Do I see mud when you see stars?

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

Every step we take (every step we take),
When’s the one too far?
And are you listening to the trees,
When I hear the cars?

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

Stand still, stand still
