I'm concentrating very intently, and my gaze is fixed but the images are blurry And I cover each eye alternatively to see them shuffle through the frame I'm lying in bed and getting freaked out, you know I really shouldn't even be awake now I've spent enough of my life down here to understand how the shadows fall I start to wonder exactly how many different people I've seen throughout my whole life Can't even fathom a guess They'll just continue walking or driving along their separate ways before I can even forget I wonder out of all those millions How many have I met? How many have I spoken with? How many have I simply brushed in passing? How many have I slept in the same building as? How many of them are left-handed just like me? How many have shared my exact date of birth? How many have I genuinely care about? How many have I taken the time to get to know real well? How many have I loved? How many will I ever love? So use simple expressions to explain what you can Cause you'll never be able to see past your hand And if I go blind from this condition May it only happen after we connect
