Hoping You See Me (Hoping You Don't Too)

A nod a word a fleeting glance

A secret wish for a second chance

I start to dance forget the date

Blur lines of my hidden state

A tightrope walker on shaky ground

Hopes the fall won't make a sound

I grin I bluff I stumble through

Hiding cracks but staying true

I'm hoping you see me—hoping you don't too

Yeah

I'm hoping you see me—hoping you don't too

Dust settles slow on an hourglass dream

Acting fine while my mind screams

I want your eyes but not your doubt

See me shine—shut the rest out

I scratch the itch I stay up late

Play the part that I create

I'm the habit you still feed

A second life I didn't need

I'm hoping you see me—hoping you don't too

Yeah

I'm hoping you see me—hoping you don't too

I've been crawling for so long my legs forget how to stand

Sundown is calling me now and chanting "You are the man!"

I'll be feeling a whole lot better when nighttime starts to fall

Yeah I'll be feeling a whole lot better when nighttime starts to fall

I'm hoping you see me—hoping you don't too!
