Against The Window Pane Lyrics - Waterdeep

I believe the heart's a theatre, 

and that the actors on its stage 

are playing dreams but they're imposters 

and that the devil pays their wage. 

I believe the passion of that drama 

that we're certain is for real 

is a diversion for our senses 

while the director comes to steal. 

CHORUS 

And ever since I was a little kid, I didn't want to run away, 

But it scared me half to death to think that I might have to stay. 

I've had a hundred scarecrow certainties. 

I've built a wooden drawbridge for my brain. 

But they all burn up 

when I see Your face 

against the window pane. 

I believe that in the passionate, 

there's a part that is divine 

I've seen the cosmos in a woman's smile, 

tasted eternity in wine. 

But I don't just believe in sentiment, 

or miracles of everyday. 

I believe that there are lepers healed. 

I believe the dead are raised. 

BRIDGE 

Jesus was a lover. He had a fire in His eyes 

that could burn away excuses, cremate your alibis. 

He had a gaze that would expose to you all the subtle lies 

that your soul permits your heart to tell concerning all that it denies.
