Watch me at the window from your place on the couch
Watch me pretending that I am really looking out
You say "come here, I can't see you in this light"
But I'm much safer beside the moon tonight

'Cause when I am a silhouette
I have no fear, you can love me from here
When I am a silhouette
I can give myself to you and you'd never see through
Never through

Don't come too close or you'll see my edges rough
And you'll make me wonder if I will be enough
You make me worry that somehow you will see
That there is always something small and trembling in me

But when I am a silhouette
I have no fear, you can love me from here
When I am a silhouette
I can give myself to you and you'd never see through
Never through

No place to hide in your single bed, no look of mine that you haven't read
I've always been an easy read
Just once I want to be a mystery
So though you tell me that it will be all right,
I'm much safer beside the moon tonight

'Cause when I am a silhouette
I have no fear, you can love me from here
When I am a silhouette
I can give myself to you and you'd never see through
Never through
