GENESIS - Behind The Lines lyrics

rate me

I held the book so tightly in my hands

I saw your pictureheard you call my name

There was something strangeI could not look away

I wanted to be thereI wanted to go

You gave me no warning

You gave no reason

But I was with you

Right by your side

Just give me the strengthand I will help you

And they can try their hardestcos they don't frighten me

It is written in the book

It is hotter than I've known beforebut I feel so coldand I don't

Know why

But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm

Then I really believeyou could make it right

Ooh the time has come now

We must show our feelings

But I'm looking right through you

And your heart is empty

Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now

There's nowhere you can run tono place to hide

Ah you let me down!

...but wait a minuteI don't understand

It's getting strongerso grab my hand

Don't wanna leave youdon't wanna go

But I'm losing all control

Can't you see me? I'm slipping away

I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here

It is written in the book

Oh so many times since I've read those words

Just waiting to see youcan you see me?
