"Side-View Mirror"

Looking at me with expectations
In your eyes, that I cannot read
Placing a guideline you hide in the shadows
Holding me down with what you don't see

So what do you want from me
What you think I should be

[chorus]
Waiting for a response
I cannot give
I don't have the answer
To any of your questions
Over again
Your blinding reflection
In the corner of my eye
We all want to see a light

Mouth open wide inside your convictions
So open minded you'll drown in the sea
Over the ocean you'll sail for a while
Then change with the winds while you anchor belief

And the poetry, poetry
Speaking in riddles
Conducting a symphony you understand
All the harmonies, harmonies
You wanted me to sing
Tunes you want to hear, but I'm not in the band

[chorus]
Waiting for a response
I cannot give
I don't have the answer
To any of your questions
Over again
Your blinding reflection
In the corner of my eye
We all want to see a light
We all want to see

[bridge]
When you've so much to say
Of so much that you do
Take your elevations
And apply them to you
Cause I'm sitting here
Not quite sure what to do
But I see what you're doing
From my point of view

And the bitter frustration
When I simply can't find
Where love and truth coincide
Don't want to weigh down your heart
Don't want to lift up your pride
