Watch me at the window from your place on the couch You watch me pretending that I am really looking out You say, "Come here, I can't see you in this light" But I'm much safer beside the moon tonight 'Cause when I am a silhouette I have no fear, I can love you from here When I am a silhouette I can give myself to you and you'd never see through, never through Don't come too close or you'll see my edges rough And you'll make me wonder if I will be enough You make me worry that somehow you will see There is always something small and trembling in me But when I am a silhouette I have no fear, I can love you from here When I am a silhouette I can give myself to you and you'd never see through, never through No place to hide in your single bed, no look of mine that you haven't read Always been an easy read just once I want to be a mystery So though you tell me that it will be all right I'm much safer beside the moon tonight 'Cause when I am a silhouette I have no fear, I can love you from here When I am a silhouette I can give myself to you and you'd never see through, never through
