written winter 2005
i woke up to the strangest dream
that made the day a blur
and i don't understand the things
that cause my thoughts to stir
stand still, sing silent
by my side
stand still, sing silent
and say you won't leave me
'cause i don't want the world to see through me
'cause i don't believe that they care
what would you do if you knew me
would you still be there?
and i've done all that i can do
to keep this inside of me
but the closer that i come to you, i find
i just can't hide me
stand still, sing silent
by my side
stand still, sing silent
and say you won't leave
'cause i don't want the world to see through me
'cause i don't believe that they care
what would you do if you knew me
would you still be there?
stand still, sing silent
by my side
stand still, sing silent
and say you won't leave
'cause i don't want the world to see through me
'cause i don't believe that they care
what would you do if you knew me
would you still be there?
and i want to let you see through me
because i believe that you care
and i know what you'd do if you knew me
because you're still there
and i'm gonna let you see through me
because i believe that you care
and i know what you'll do when you know me
because you're still there
i'm living in the strangest dream
that's made my world a blur
and i cannot control the things
that cause my heart to stir
stand still, sing silent
by my side
stand still, sing silent
and say you won't leave me
and say you won't go
and say you'll still be here
about this song:
This song started with a line from Whit's journal, that just seemed like it should be a line from a song. The rest pretty much wrote itself. I guess it's just what the music was saying to me. Strangely, I feel more like a reader or a listener, like any of you, trying to find in this song whatever it means to me. So this song is about whatever it means to you.
