lyrics

I don't even know you,
But you know where I have stood.
At this particular moment, I know,
You'd help me if you could.

What I need isn't simple;
I'd ask what I should do.
I know you have all the answers, don't you,
'cus I'm still years off you.

And so I beg this in my desperation;
I'm on my knees, I've lost my pride.
The answer you give could save me from desolation:
Tell me the grass isn't greener on the other side?

You are my 8-ball,
Made from misted glass.
You are my promise:
Future, from the past.

I would ask you a million things if only
you'd respond in turn
But the first thing that I would ask is
How much have you learned?

And this uncertainty that wracks my brain:
You've felt it before and I know you know it well.
Will there be a time when I can think again?
Your very existence shows that time will tell.

Not with a bang but
with a whimper that's
how the world will fall
I for one will be
living in my own
personal house of glass
sat in wait for the
priestess to bless my soul
absolve me my sins
leave me clean for the end
Tell me it's alright
That's she's seen it and it's fine.

And so I beg this in my desperation;
I'm on my knees, I've lost my pride.
The answer you give could be my sole conviction:
Tell me the grass wasn't greener on the other side?
