Select language to translate this lyric
Places and faces and knives in the back
When I thought I was safe
Feelings and meanings and earthquakes
I've filed in silence away
Moments and pictures, addresses
That hammer away at my heart
Words you believe but they're nothing
The castle is falling apart
And for a second the curtain goes up
Just for a second, there's a spark in the dark
Just for a second, standing by your door
Just for a second, I can see a little bit more
Trying and hiding and drowning
In search of a self to float on
Questions running wild in my mind
Answered in a maze you deal with alone
And for a second the curtain goes up
Just for a second, there's a spark in the dark
And for a second, standing by your door
Just for a second, I can see a little bit more
How you came to me I'll never understand
How you whisper to my heart
Here's to every corner of the sky
And every star that holds the night
Give me the seconds, the minutes,
The hours that run in my blood
Save me from days and from dreams
That are painfully small for my size
And for a second the curtain goes up
Just for a second, there's a spark in the dark
And for a second, standing by your door
Just for a second, I can see a little bit more
And for a second the curtain goes up
Just for a second, there's a spark in the dark
And for a second, standing by your door
