Lyrics:Lisa Loeb

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.
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.

You're so still, you're so safe,
appear severe,
you are so nonchalant.

I'm so still
I'm so safe.
appear severe,
I am not.

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

You're so still,
you save face.
Try to erase all you feel inside.

Stand still,
I save face,
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.
They test me can I train my evil eye to see like they do -
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes.
Of all the rooms I've loved before,
it's you I love.

This is how I meet my muse.
