| I was waiting for a miracle
|
| Waiting high and low
|
| I was reaching for illogical faith
|
| Reaching for an instant fix for a pain
|
| I was praying for a messiah to love
|
| I was praying to the gods above
|
| As I wondered where the real things been
|
| There you are, your face
|
| On the cover of a magazine
|
| Who needs biblical integrity? |
| Now I have a vision
|
| Of who I would like to be
|
| Between your pages
|
| I think I love you, between your lines
|
| I really think I know you too
|
| I check my mirror, and hate what I see
|
| The face the person, looking back at me
|
| Because it never will be
|
| Your face, on the cover of a magazine
|
| Do I want fame?
|
| An instant fix for a pain?
|
| It’s warped and utopian,
|
| a make believe arcadian
|
| If its biblical integrity
|
| or celebrity dependency
|
| How could I not see what I was looking for
|
| was inside of me already
|
| Before I look for a messiah to love
|
| I need to start with myself first
|
| I close your pages now
|
| On the shelf I lay you back down
|
| This is the farewell scene whoever you are, goodbye,
|
| Your face,
|
| On the cover of a magazine |
