I search your profile for a translation
I study the conversation like a map
'Cause I know there is strength in the differences between us
And I know there is comfort where we overlap

Come here, stand in front of the light
Stand still, so I can see your silhouette
I hope you have got all night
'Cause I'm not done looking, no, I'm not done looking yet

Each one of us wants a piece of the action
You can hear it in what we say, you can see it in what we do
We negotiate with chaos for some sense of satisfaction
If you won't give it to me at least give me a better view

Come here, stand in front of the light
Stand still, so I can see your silhouette
I hope you have got all night
'Cause I'm not done looking, no, I'm not done looking yet

I build each one of my songs out of gla*s
So you can see me inside of them I suppose
Or you could just leave the image of me in the background, I guess
And watch your own reflection superimposed

I build each one of my days out of hope
And I give that hope your name and I don't know you that well
But it don't take much to tell
Either you don't have the balls or you don't feel the same

Come here, stand in front of the light
Stand still, so I can see your silhouette
I hope you have got all night
'Cause I'm not done looking, no, I'm not done looking yet

I seach your profile for a translation
I study the conversation like a map
'Cause I know there is strength in the differences between us
And I know there is comfort where we overlap
