Watching Paint Dry Lyrics

Same old mask

Splinters in the skin

The hand is still sore

And it's watching the door

If it knocks, would you be there to let it in?

Would you let me in?

Down on the dark street

A face turns up to the rain

There's so much to do

Where to start, what to choose

Fly the flag, cut the cord, push the pen

I wish I could see you again

And I can still hear

Your voice in my ear

But when I reply

Do you hear me?

You're far out of range

And I'm turning the page

I'm still talking to you

Even though you're gone

Hours and days pass by

Layers of regret

Falling like ashes

Forget about passion

The concrete is starting to set

We'd better escape while it's wet

A pair of broken chairs

This memory of mine

You once said time moves too fast

Am I stuck in the past?

Can I change? Am I willing to try?

I can't see the big picture

I'm just watching the paint dry

And I can still hear

Your voice in my ear

But when I reply

Do you hear me?

You're far out of range

And I'm turning the page

I'm still talking to you

Even though you're gone

Thunderbolt out of the blue

Have I got a secret for you

It's not what you thought

I took what you taught me

And I faced my fears and I left them all behind

At least that's what I did in my mind
