All I see are clouds of smoke
Is it you waiting there
Or did you go?
Blurry eyes and both are mine
It's at the tip of my nose
Am I too close?
If only I could see a little clearer
Moments frozen in a maze of mirrors
Shut my eyes to make it disappear
I didn't realize I've been
Standing one inch from the wall
Staring at the brush strokes thinking
"Man, is this really all?
Lines and dots are barely speaking"
I gotta take a step back
I gotta see it from a wider view
Refocus my eyes
Then I'll see the skies of blue
Stepping back to clearer air
I can see all the paint
Splattered everywhere
It hurts to see the pain I've caused
Should I step back in
To avoid regret's sharp claws?
But then I won't be able to see clearly
Gotta face the truth and dig severely
Can't be playing dumb or insincere
That was the last time you'll see me
Standing one inch from the wall
Staring at the brush strokes thinking
"Man, is this really all?
Lines and dots are barely speaking"
I gotta take a step back
I gotta see it from a wider view
Refocus my eyes
Then I'll see the skies of blue
So can you
If you're true
You will see
What will be
And you'll think
To yourself
What a wonderful world
Standing one inch from the wall
Staring at the brush strokes thinking
"Man, is this really all?
Lines and dots are barely speaking"
I gotta take a step back
I gotta see it from a wider view
Refocus my eyes
Then I'll see the skies of blue
