Album: What We Saw From The Cheap Seats (2012)
Play Video
  • I am
    Down the road and up the hill
    I wait for you still
    Wires 'round my fingers
    Potentially lovely
    Perpetually human
    Suspended and open
    Open
    Open

    I am
    Through the woods and past the trains
    I wait here in vain
    Scrubbing out the stains again
    Potentially lovely
    Perpetually human
    Suspended and open
    Open
    Open

    In a night, the snow starts falling
    And everybody stares
    Through their windows at the streetlights
    Too beautiful to see

    I am
    In a room I've built myself
    Four straight walls
    One floor
    One ceiling
    And day after day, I wake up feeling
    Day after way feeling, feeling

    Potentially lovely
    Perpetually human
    Suspended and open
    Open
    Open
    Open

    Open up
    Your eyes
    And then Writer/s: REGINA SPEKTOR
