The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We've been down this road once before
Guessing what's behind every door
I know it doesn't make much sense
But i can't change the way it is
Mirrors on the walls all agree
I'm looking at myself and i can't see
Any reason why you should stay here
You're so good it's out of place
Baby, there's so much that i don't know it's crazy
Everything i started with is fading
So i will lock my eyes to yours
Cause you are what i'm here for
Talking to myself once again
There are days when i won't let you in
Buying time i keep you in suspense
I realize it makes no sense
Baby, there's so much that i don't know it's crazy
Everything i started with is fading
So i will lock my eyes to yours
Cause you are what i'm here for
Shout out, the future's so unsure
When you're the only one i'm living for
Dark clouds, the rain can only pour
When you're the only one i'm living for
Baby, there's so much that i don't know it's crazy
Everything i started with is fading
Fading into space and stars
This is who we are now
Lately you're the one who's doing all the saving
I'm looking 'round it's only complicating
So i will lock my eyes to yours
Cause you are what i'm here for
