[Verse 1]
Liminal became my creed
On the floor inside your house on New Year's Eve
The space between my head and heart
The distance often seems just too far

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't stay like this
I can't stay like this
I can't stay like this
Don't leave me like this

[Chorus]
I wasn't looking but she found me
I wasn't listenin' but she spoke
In her affection I am sinking
It's while I was sleeping that I woke

[Verse 2]
Now the months and years have past
The shadows have offered a strange kindness
Not a sort that's rare or blind
One that dances because of the fire's light

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't stay like this
I can't stay like this
I can't stay like this
Don't leave me like this

[Chorus]
I wasn't looking but she found me
I wasn't listenin' but she spoke
In her affection I am sinking
It's while I was sleeping that I woke

[Chorus]
I wasn't looking but she found me
I wasn't listenin' but she spoke
In her affection I am sinking
It's while I was sleeping that I woke
