Original Sin

I am just a passing glance
Trying to steal your gaze
Ain't no girl in the world
That could pull you away
Study me like I'm your past
Waving from the door
Hard to see you off
If you're leaving me for more

I am just a flickering light
Trying to guide you home
Ain't no scorching sun
But I can keep you warm
Perfect from the hillside
Can you see my little charms
Shining in the daylight
Little storybook alarms

And all the missing pieces come together
All the empty glasses are filled
Looking out from within is the original sin
Looking out from within is the original sin

I am just a messenger wishing that the note
Carried in my pocket was my own
Burden me with anything
Your sadness stays in me
Absorbed into my very skin until it can't be seen
I am just a passenger waiting for the shore
I am just a passenger waiting for more

And all the missing pieces come together
All the empty glasses are filled
Looking out from within is the original sin
Looking out from within is the original sin

And all we ever know is how to look up from below
Shooting stars in the dark... see the glow
And all we ever do is give from me to you
Pass the cards to the left and draw something new
It's all we ever do, all we ever do
It's all we ever do
It's all we ever do

And all the missing pieces come together
All the empty glasses are filled
Looking out from within is the original sin
Looking out from within is the original sin
