How can I hide the smoke in my eyes
That burns new life like a fire?
  (If you could see me you'd know I'm higher)

When I get home I feel all alone
I'm sore with her love behind
  (If you could feel me you'd know my mind)

Can you even tell in the cracks of my voice
How much I wish I weren't here?
  (If you could see me I'd disappear)

Can you see the way I look away
I dream of the days her parade?

   And I know from the way this fire burns
   If she finds just a little patch of time
   I'll be right there, take me in turn
   I'll leave with her prints deep inside

Do I walk differently, do I glow like a star,
Do I radiate nightly that far?
  (If you could see me you'd know I'm charmed)

Can you tell I am full of the love that I breathe
And that none of it came from here?

   (chorus)

Do you see my skin warm (as if you ever looked)
My lips burnt hot from her tongue?
  (If you could feel me you'd know we're done)

Do you even realize I like her in ways
I'm not sure I ever did you?

   (chorus, halved chorus)
