The perfect words never crossed my mind,
'cause there was nothing in there but you,
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me,
All I wanted just sped right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out,
There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety
No I don't wanna wait forever (x2)
In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire,
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes,
There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,
There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,
No I don't wanna wait forever (x3)

There's this great bit in an episode of Scrubs where Doctor Cox and Carla are talking about why they don't seem to be as close as they once were, and Carla suggests that maybe Cox has changed and that all the therapy is working, to which Cox responds, and I quote:
Oh, please, I'm crazier than ever. Lookit, during this entire conversation, I've actually been imagining myself sitting on a throne between us, watching all of this.
He goes on to explain that the him in his head is invisible to the naked eye and on her left, not her right. It's a fun little trip into the strange innerworkings of Percival Cox, M.D.
All this to say, that if you want to know what it's like in my head, it actually looks a lot like this...
Yeah. I know. It's a doozy.
