i search your profile
for a translation
i study the conversation
like a map
'cause i know there is strength
in the differences between us
and i know there is comfort
where we overlap

come here
and stand in front of the light
stand still
so i can see your silhouette
i hope
you have all night
'cause i am not done looking, yet

and each one of us
wants a piece of the action
you can hear it in what we say
you can see it in what we do
we negotiate with chaos
for some sense of satisfaction
and if you won't give it to me
at least give me
a better view

come here
and stand in front of the light
now stand still
so that i can see your silhouette
i hope
you have all night
'cause i'm not done looking
no, no

and i build each one
of my songs
out of glass
so you will see me inside them
i suppose
you could just leave the image of me
in the background, i guess
and uh,
watch your own reflection
superimposed

and i,
i build each one of my days out of hope
and i give that hope your name and
and i don't know you that well
but it don't take much to tell
either you don't have the balls
or you don't feel the same
and i want you to
come here
and stand in front of the light
stand still
so i can see your silhouette
i hope
you have got all night
'cause i am not done looking

i search your profile for a translation
i study the conversation like a map
'cause i know there is strength
in the differences between us
and i know there is comfort
where we overlap
