How many storylines how many years Of hide and seek How many tears Before the living truth appears In a form you can't ignore And when she comes for you, you realize She's courted you through other eyes But somehow it took this disguise To bring you to the door Where she's standing With an outstretched hand, motioning And you don't understand But you take her lead For you have no need but this love She'll still your mind But steal your rest By lighting fires in your chest And like an overbearing guest She won't leave you alone If you go with her You won't be back And she won't leave you time To think or pack You'll be naked, but you won't lack And love will be your home And she's standing With an outstretched hand, motioning And you may not understand But you take her lead For you have no need but this love How many storylines How many years Of hide and seek How many tears Before the living truth appears And comes to take you home
