0:27When you get home from work
0:31You change out your shirt
0:33I watch the light just play and fall
0:36Right off your skin
0:40In the flickers of the moonlight
0:43I can tell that something's not right
0:47That there's a whole world in there
0:49That you won't let me in
0:53To understand it how could anyone even begin
1:00So you ask me how my day went
1:04I try to feign some sense of achievement
1:06And I run my mouth till I forget
1:09I haven't asked you a thing
1:14My selfish little mind ran away with itself again
1:21Maybe I'm too scared to ask you
1:24Or it's the insignificance of all that I do
1:26When I spend my time walking around in all I've left unsaid
1:34While you've been working all night and the ward's running out of beds
2:07I finally ask you how your day went
2:10You say you lost your favourite patient
2:18While I was working on a masterpiece no one will ever hear
2:25I can't help but think what the hell is it that I'm even doing here
2:32Because your life is in the moment
2:35What is needed most important
2:38You put yourself to one side and provide
2:41Do what needs to be done
2:46Mine is a world of my own making
2:49Words I've swallowed time I'm taking
2:52You don't judge or ever question what it is I do it for
2:59But I watch you and I know I could do so much more
3:31I hope I can help in some way
3:35I hope I can help in some way
3:38I hope I can help in some small way
3:45I hope I can help in some way
3:48I hope I can help in some way
3:52I hope I can help in some small way
When you get home from work You change out your shirt I watch the light just play and fall Right off your skin In the flickers of the moonlight I can tell that something's not right That there's a whole world in there That you won't let me in To understand it how could anyone even begin So you ask me how my day went I try to feign some sense of achievement And I run my mouth till I forget I haven't asked you a thing My selfish little mind ran away with itself again Maybe I'm too scared to ask you Or it's the insignificance of all that I do When I spend my time walking around in all I've left unsaid While you've been working all night and the ward's running out of beds I finally ask you how your day went You say you lost your favourite patient While I was working on a masterpiece no one will ever hear I can't help but think what the hell is it that I'm even doing here Because your life is in the moment What is needed most important You put yourself to one side and provide Do what needs to be done Mine is a world of my own making Words I've swallowed time I'm taking You don't judge or ever question what it is I do it for But I watch you and I know I could do so much more I hope I can help in some way I hope I can help in some way I hope I can help in some small way I hope I can help in some way I hope I can help in some way I hope I can help in some small way
