My many admirers Bring me flowers but I spend my nights alone They promise me diamond rings I prefer to start rhinestones It's your light on my face Your carefully chosen hues You know the stories behind my words You know me for beyond my queues But the loneliest place Is on this pedestal All these eyes upon me And I just want you Limn me in pinks and golds and reds The colors of the flowers they send Bathe me in the softest warmths In this secret duet we perform I don't need any more roses and rings But I need the stage like I need air I lament the distance But you and I both need me here Limn me in pinks and golds and reds (Are you just a beacon) The colors of the flowers they send (Or are you home?) Bathe me in the softest warmth (If you only asked me) In this secret duet we perform (I would go and come) (Are you just a beacon) (Or are you home) (If you only asked me) (I would go and come) All the wants and shoulds and maybes (Are you just a beacon) Of my idiot heart are not what you want to hear (Or are you home?) Can you bear it one more time? (If you only asked me) Illuminate the longing I feel (I would go and come) Limn me in pinks and golds and reds (Are you just a beacon) The colors of the flowers they send (Or are you home?) Bathe me in the softest warmth (If you only asked me) In this secret duet we perform (I would go and come)
