Lyrics Lisa Loeb – This

In an open room that echoes well, this is where I can tell you everything.

This is where I meet my muse, and it feeds me.
And this is how I buy the sun, and it feeds me.
This is why I burn this candle, I light it so that I can handle this.

And you’re so still, and you, and you’re so safe,
And you appear severe
You are so nonchalant.

So, I, so, I, so, I stand still
And I, and I’m so safe,
And I appear severe,
I am not.

This is where I meet my muse, and it feeds me.
And this is how I buy the sun, and it feeds me.
And I told David I won’t die, and this is how I watch the sky.
This is why I burn this candle, I light it so that I can handle this.

And you, you’re so still,
And you, and you save face.
And you try to erase all you feel inside.

So, I, so I stand still,
And I, and I save face,
And I misplace all the feelings I can’t hide.

Of all the rooms I’ve loved before, it’s you I love inside this room.
And they test me, can I train my evil eyes to see like they do —
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes.

Of all the rooms I’ve loved before,
It’s you I love.
I love.

And this is how I meet my muse.
