lyrics

I wasn't saying,
That I was In Limbo,
I wasn't saying much.
Memories make me go,
Searching for something,
Something I cannot touch.

But I was old enough to care,
That words come easy to some people.
That's when I saw you sitting there,
Like a statue of Athena.

I wasn't looking,
For things to control you,
I was just looking at the floor.
Look into my eyes,
Do you see lightning?
Do you see anything at all?

But I was old enough to care,
That words come easy to some people.
That's when I saw you sitting there,
Like a statue of Athena.

Too much attention,
Standing for something,
Something you cannot love.
There was a feeling,
That we had it in us,
But it was not enough.

But I was old enough to care,
That words come easy to some people.
That's when I saw you sitting there,
Like a statue of Athena.

But I was old enough to care,
That words come easy to some people.
That's when I saw you sitting there,
Like a statue of Athena.
