THE SHADE
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.
(Two, three, four)
I was closing all the blinds
Just so you could sleep the night through
I was staying by your side
Just so I knew you were okay
And I was opening the door
Just to see if you would walk through
I started painting all the walls
Just to see if you liked the shade
I would love just to be stuck to your side
Not with anybody else, anybody else
It's enough just to keep us occupied
Please don't go
I would love just to be stuck to your side
Not with anybody else, anybody else (don't go)
It's enough just to keep us occupied (please don't go)
You were holding out your hands
Hoping I'd be there to hold to
I went out to Amsterdam
Just so I could give you some space
But I kept opening my door
Just to see if you would walk through
But now I'm painting all my walls
Just to see if you like the shade
I would love just to be stuck to your side
Not with anybody else, anybody else
It's enough just to keep us occupied
Please don't go
I would love just to be stuck to your side
Not with anybody else, anybody else (don't go)
It's enough just to keep us occupied (please don't go)
Not with anybody else, anybody else
Please don't go
Not with anybody else, anybody else, no
Please don't go
