All I See

If I were making you as happy as you say I do, wouldn't this be easier?
Couldn't this be easier?
But I know you... You keep insisting that the answers hide where the questions lie.
I think that's 'cause in the truth there's nowhere for you to hide.
So I hide from you for one more night and I end up walking home at midnight.
It's getting colder, and the city hasn't fixed those streetlights.
I think that valor has a soul of discretion.
And you don't seem to notice when I don't answer your questions.

But I want you to be the better part of me.
And I want you to know these things are true.
Alone I am not lonely cause I know you're out there.
And in a room full of people the only one I see is you.

If you were making me as happy as I think you do, then wouldn't it be easier to know.
I love to be beside you, but that little voice inside you
Keeps nudging at us both to just let go.
One of these days I'm gonna tell you that I love you,
and I think you'll prob'ly fall right off your chair. (but I'm scared that)
One of these days I'll go to reach for you and you're not gonna be there.
So stay at arms' length, you'll be all right.
And I'll be walking home at midnight.
Feeling colder as I'm slowly drained of your light.
I think my discretion has a soul of cowardice.
If you really want me, you're gonna have to be a little reckless.

The people, they think they know which way that this will go.
And maybe, just maybe, they're smarter than you and me.
Because alone I am not lonely since I know you're out there.
And in a room full of people you're the only one I see.

But I want you to be the better part of me.
And I want you to know these things are true.
Alone I am not lonely cause I know you're out there.
And in a room full of people the only one I see is you.

All I see is you.

Stay at arm's length you'll be all right.
I'll be walking home at midnight.

All I see is you.
