Across the Floor

Yes I've played the fool
Invisibly
Yes, I wish I'd played it all,
But you don't see

The grass that turns to brown
The line I threw myself upon
The look I gave you
The things I'm only thankful for
In my mind
Throw them back to you

Yes I've played the fool
Is it bravery?
Yes I wish I'd played it all
But it nearly killed me

Look past your life
Movies unfold
Played in your head
My friends are actors
You'll never know
What that eye sees

Yes I've played the fool
Look back with envy
Yes, I wish I'd played it all
But is this me?
