The Place Where You Live - Numb Thumb

It's easy to forget that our days are numbered It's easy for a slip to turn into a stumble I didn't even feel when I took my eyes off you I fell into my fear, and took a lie for a truth Now I'm wondering around Wondering without a clue Can you remind me who I am When I act like someone else And can you help me understand Why these cards were dealt Can you shatter my mirror To see outside myself And I hope to see it clearer The place from where I fell I'm waiting for a sign Waiting for direction I'm ready to build a wall Behind every step I've taken So I can't turn back around And doubt my destination Can you remind me who I am When I act like someone else And can you help me understand Why these cards were dealt Can you shatter my mirror To see outside myself And I hope to see it clearer The place from where I fell Can you remind me who I am When I act like someone else And can you help me understand Why these cards were dealt Can you shatter my mirror To see outside myself And I hope to see it clearer The place from where I fell

I don't always work like I think I should At the end of the day I don't always wake up with the Right words to say but If I can make you feel something I can make you feel it down to your bones When you close your eyes at night Would you let me run straight to you I want you to know Nothing's gonna take you baby Nothing's gonna take you now Nothing's gonna take you baby Nothing's gonna take you now I don't always talk like I think I could When I get that way But I know I don't wanna see you hurt See you run away so If I can make you feel something I can make you feel it down to your bones When you close your eyes at night Would you let me run straight to you I want you to see Nothing's gonna take you baby Nothing's gonna take you now Nothing's gonna take you baby Nothing's gonna take you now All this time you're on your own And I watch you going by But all this time you're still the same On corner where you live What I wouldn't try to give To say Nothing's gonna take you baby Nothing's gonna take you now Nothing's gonna take you baby Nothing's gonna take you now

I have often walked Down this street before But the pavement always stayed Beneath my feet before All at once am I Several stories high Knowing I'm On the street Where you live. Are there lilac trees In the heart of town? Can you hear a lark In any other part of town? Does enchantment pour Out of every door? No, it's just On the street Where you live. And oh, the tow'ring feeling Just to know Somehow you are near The overpow'ring feeling That any second You may suddenly appear. You know, People stop and stare, They don't bother me For there's nowhere else on earth That I would rather be Let the time go by, I don't care if I Can be here On the street Where you live. And oh, the tow'ring feeling Just to know Somehow you are near The overpow'ring feeling That any second You may suddenly appear. You know, People stop and stare, They don't bother me For there's nowhere else on earth That I would rather be Let the time go by, I don't care if I Can be here On the street Where you live Can be here On the street Where you live.
