The Film I’d Like To See

Time’s running out
Now it’s my turn
I know how hard he’s tried
And every time
His elbow touches mine
I feel a pleasant jolt
But I am petrified
This is my stop
How about you
Once more that gentle smile
And as I see him
Pressing down the aisle
And leaving me behind
I have an image in my mind
My head is light
My heart has wings
As in a trance, I grab my things
Please let me through
Please let me off this train
Now that I’m free
That is the film I’d like to see
I’m at the door and I descend
This is the start, this is the end
And he’s there
Waiting in the rain
Only for me
That is the film I’d like to see
I curse the meek coward I am
So safe to sit and wait
Biding my time, avoid decision now
And finding all too often
It’s a touch too late
And now I see him
Walking past my window
Halting his steps, I knew he would
Turning around, a sadness in his face
He looks at me and then
I see the image once again
My head is light
My heart has wings
As in a trance, I grab my things
Please let me through
Please let me off this train
Now that I’m free
That is the film I’d like to see
I’m at the door and I descend
This is the start, this is the end
And he’s there
Waiting in the rain
Only for me
Seeing me as I am (Seeing me as I am)
And who I want to be
(And who I want to be)
That is the miracle (That is the miracle)
That is the film I’d like to see
