You watch me at the window from your place on the couch
You watch me pretending that I am really looking out
You say: ÔÇ£Come here, I can't see you in this lightÔÇØ
But IÔÇÖm much safer beside the moon tonight
When I am a silhouette
I have no fear, I can love you from here
When I am a silhouette
I can give myself to you, and you never see through
Never through
DonÔÇÖt come too close or youÔÇÖll see my edge is rough
And youÔÇÖll make me wonder if I will be enough
You'll make me worry that somehow you will see
That there is always something small and trembling in me
But when I am a silhouette
I have no fear, I can love you from here
When I am a silhouette
I can give myself to you, and you never see through
Never through
No place to hide in your single bed
No look of mine that you havenÔÇÖt read
I've always been an easy read
Just once I want to be a mystery
So though you tell me it will be alright
IÔÇÖm much safer beside the moon tonight
When I am a silhouette
I have no fear, I can love you from here
When I am a silhouette
I can give myself to you, and you never see through
Never through
