In The Back

Lights out, it is time to leave

Kill the lightswitch, let me bleed

I will be here till the end

It's up to you to be my friend



Goodnight now,

Rest your lovely head

Go to sleep

Lay yourself down in my bed

I'll stay right here

This is where I want to be

I will sit and gaze at you

In the back of the room



Dream of me, I want you to

But I know your thoughts I don't succome to

That's ok, there's another day

Make it worth the time I gave up for you



Goodnight now,

Rest your lovely head

Go to sleep

Lay yourself down in my bed

I'll stay right here

This is where I want to be

I will sit and gaze at you

In the back of the room



I don't want to have to sit here

Wait untill you wake

I want to be able to hold you

All your fears I promise I will take

Lying there, is where I want to be

Next to you, this is how it was meant to be...



This means more to me

Than it ever will to you...



Goodnight now, (Dream of me)

Rest your lovely head

Go to sleep

Lay yourself down in my bed (Stay true)

I'll stay right here (Stay beautiful)

This is where I want to be (Stay helpful)

I will sit and gaze at you (Stay you)

In the back of the room



Someday I will lay there next to you

Until then, I will stay in the back of the room

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A lot of this one is metaphoric...it is about someone who probably will not read this...and that is ok, as long as she is happy; I'll stay in the back of the room.
