WHEN SHE STARES (Stavnes/Bernhoft)
I never knew that what I said
could have so many meanings
to her one voice is a harmony
I try to say I care, but no
It sounds like I don’t mean it
she thinks I’m a parody
And when she won’t speak to me she doesn’t tell me why
I’m supposed to know what I’ve done wrong and make it right
I think she’s made of glass
she breaks with the slightest touch
and cuts me when I try to put her back together
I twist myself to the best I can be, but
I never do enough
I always do too much
And when she tells me to leave, she really wants me to stay
and when she wants me to stay, it’s dangerous to leave
When she stares at me, I go down
When that stare hits me, I’m wrapped around
When she stares I know it won’t be long before I crawl
The moments of hope are the moments of truce
with weapons laid aside
and all is peace and beauty
I could go on like that forever
but the call was never mine
she wins, I am losing / I’m the loser
She hears my words like they’re doublecross-designed
and everytime she breaks she gets that cold and piercing eye
When she stares...
She’s freaking out, I need a break,
anything at all, anything at all!
I need something to calm her down,
anything at all, anything at all!
It’s been like this for all my life
everywhere I go
I tend to cause confusion
I go for peace but end up with strife
The belief in a clear statement
is a painful illusion
Everywhere I stay there’s someone asking me to leave
and everytime I leave there’s someone asking me to stay
and everywhere someone stares, and then again
When she stares...
