Fish from Hollow by Where? The Lights Are!

Standing in a bookshop of memories
Scrawling through a page
Pulled out a pen and paint a picture
A picture of your darkest fears
A man who can't control his tears
But you're curious, aren't you curious?

Sitting there for ages filling in the pages
And sketching out your life
And I'm just sitting lonely, wishing you would hold me
And shade me into your light
Broken in the corner, standing tall and colder
You touch my face
And feel it glow with warmth

And I wanna change your mind but I'm short of an eraser
And I try with all my might but I just can't tear the paper
And I hold my pillow every night
I sing it songs and lullabies
But constantly I'm wishing it was you

Enough with all the stories, this is getting boring
Just waiting for a sign
But as I turn the paper, three little words linger
Just finishing the line
'Happy Ever After' but the princess has been captured
And not by him
She's in the tower of my heart

The prince will come and save you
Now he's got a clear view of what he's dealing with
And though I'm not a soldier, I will fight to hold you
And win your final breath
I didn't mean to frighten
I was just imagining what it would be like
If I could change your mind

And I wanna change your mind but I'm short of an eraser
And I try with all my might but I just can't tear the paper
And I hold my pillow every night
I sing it songs and lullabies
But constantly I'm wishing it was you
