Liminal became my creed, on the floor inside your house on New Year’s eve 
 The space between my head and heart, the distance often seems just too far 
    But I can’t stay like this 
 I can’t stay like this 
 I can’t stay like this 
 Don’t leave me like this   
 I wasn’t looking but she found me 
 I wasn’t listening but she spoke 
 In her affection I am sinking 
 It’s while I was sleeping that I woke   
 Now the months and years have passed 
 The shadows have offered a strange kindness 
 Not a sort that’s rare or blind 
 But one that dances because of the fire’s light   
 But I can’t stay like this 
 I can’t stay like this 
 I can’t stay like this 
 Don’t leave me like this   
 I wasn’t looking but she found me 
 I wasn’t listening but she spoke 
 In her affection I am sinking 
 It’s while I was sleeping that I woke   
 I wasn’t looking but she found me 
 I wasn’t listening but she spoke 
 In her affection I am sinking 
 It’s while I was sleeping that I woke
