From Where I Stand Songtext
You′ve been my last outpost before the wild open sea
Suddenly promising rescue when I was just about to give in
But could it be, could it be I just fooled myself?
I've been your last wall of defense against the truth flooding in
You were dying of thirst and so glad you
Drank when I offered you poison for wine
But could it be, could it be you just fooled yourself?
From where I stand it all seems pretty clear
From where I stand there is not much left but fear
Not much left but fear
Of being alone once again
So we close our eyes and count slowly to ten
Giving truth time enough to get out of our sight
Where we seek we make sure we don′t find
If ignorance was really bliss
Then the world's seen no happier couple than this
You and I struggling to not get too close
While our hearts are so firmly entwined
We're a match made in heaven for a life down in hell
A broken promise to ease each other′s pain
A cure failing to deliver relief
So could it be, could it be we just fooled ourselves?
From where I stand it all seems pretty clear
From where I stand there is not much left but fear
Not much left but fear
Of being alone once again
So we close our eyes and count slowly to ten
Giving truth time enough to get out of our sight
Where we seek we make sure we don′t find
If ignorance was really bliss
Then the world's seen no happier couple than this
You and I struggling to not get too close
While our hearts are so firmly entwined
So we are watching our world slowly turning to grey
While fear grinds its claws deeper into our flesh with every new day
From where I stand it all seems pretty clear
From where I stand there is not much left but fear
Not much left but fear
Of being alone once again
So we close our eyes and count slowly to ten
Giving truth time enough to get out of our sight
Where we seek we make sure we don′t find
If ignorance was really bliss
Then the world's seen no happier couple than this
You and I struggling to not get too close
While our hearts are so firmly entwined
So we are watching our world slowly turning to grey
Suddenly promising rescue when I was just about to give in
But could it be, could it be I just fooled myself?
I've been your last wall of defense against the truth flooding in
You were dying of thirst and so glad you
Drank when I offered you poison for wine
But could it be, could it be you just fooled yourself?
From where I stand it all seems pretty clear
From where I stand there is not much left but fear
Not much left but fear
Of being alone once again
So we close our eyes and count slowly to ten
Giving truth time enough to get out of our sight
Where we seek we make sure we don′t find
If ignorance was really bliss
Then the world's seen no happier couple than this
You and I struggling to not get too close
While our hearts are so firmly entwined
We're a match made in heaven for a life down in hell
A broken promise to ease each other′s pain
A cure failing to deliver relief
So could it be, could it be we just fooled ourselves?
From where I stand it all seems pretty clear
From where I stand there is not much left but fear
Not much left but fear
Of being alone once again
So we close our eyes and count slowly to ten
Giving truth time enough to get out of our sight
Where we seek we make sure we don′t find
If ignorance was really bliss
Then the world's seen no happier couple than this
You and I struggling to not get too close
While our hearts are so firmly entwined
So we are watching our world slowly turning to grey
While fear grinds its claws deeper into our flesh with every new day
From where I stand it all seems pretty clear
From where I stand there is not much left but fear
Not much left but fear
Of being alone once again
So we close our eyes and count slowly to ten
Giving truth time enough to get out of our sight
Where we seek we make sure we don′t find
If ignorance was really bliss
Then the world's seen no happier couple than this
You and I struggling to not get too close
While our hearts are so firmly entwined
So we are watching our world slowly turning to grey
