Lyrics In the Corner - Hello Emerson

When i look at you
I don't know what i'm supposed to do
I just take a seat
In the corner

When you're coming to
Every single time you're just like new
We tell you where you are
Why we're with you

I didn't know a day could move this slow
I'm feeling all the time
I didn't know to hold tight or let go
I'm looking for a sign
Can they fix you in time

I sit in the corner as the tv shows
Something you can't see
Eyes all washed out by the morphine
And when you find the strength
To wake up to the room
We get hopeful in the icu
That you'll still be you
If you pull through

When you look away
I don't know what i'm supposed to say
I'm picking my guitar
Hope that's ok

Get well bouquets
Headed to the spot where mom crochets
A bittersweet parade
Through the doorway

I didn't know
A week could move this slow
I'm feeling all the time
I didn't know
To hold tight or let go
I'm looking for a sign
Can i make things alright

Can i play
Something soft enough
To dull the pain
Something light and sweet
Can i find a way to rearrange

Every little beep that comes
From these machines
Into your paternal symphony
With your weary heart on timpani
Can it lift the nurses off their knees
Can it put the surgeons all at ease
Can it cure the world of disease

Can i play something to keep you here
Can i play something to quell our fear
Can i play something to make things clear
Can i play something to keep you here

Can i play something to keep you here
Can i play something to keep you here
Can i play something to keep you here
Can i play something to keep you here

Will you still be you
If you pull through
