To the Wire

I see you across the room
 Can't say hi, it's too soon
 Don't know why this doesn't fit
 I try and try, still I can't make it
 The world is wide, where's my corner?
 Somewhere to hide, somewhere to flow from
 People here are all so friendly
 They smile and smile, still they can't see me
 And I thought that I'd made it so far
 But I'm right back down to the wire
 Act your age, quit your stalling
 Turn the page, heed your calling
 Are you the dance or the dancer?
 You ask and ask and still no answer
 And you thought that you'd made it so far
 But you're right back down to the wire
 So come on now, blow my cover
 Bend my knees, be my other
 There's still a place you can't take me
 There're still some things you can't make me
 And we thought that we'd made it so far
 But we're right back down to the wire
