I wouldn't know where to start
If you ever were to ask me
If I ever came to say

So is this what you're proposing to me?
A front seat to your parade
To sit and fit?

Well it seems pointless to explain
Just give it a stare
If only you'd notice
If only you'd dare

I've got to stop this obsession
I've got to stand by my reason
Let the film roll without me

I'm always waiting for what comes rare
Knees black from bending
Seeking a little love here and there

But I don't blame you for the act
The show, the lights
Maybe myself for taking part

Well it seems pointless to explain
Just give it a stare
If only you'd notice
If only you'd dare

I've got to stop, stop this obsession
I've got to stand, stand by my reason
Let the film roll without me

I've got to stop, stop this obsession
I've got to stand, stand by my reason
Let the film roll without me
