Lyrics The Book Song - Live - Missy Higgins

I would open up the book
But I don't know where to start to look
You're so tall, you're so strong
Stand by me, 'cause this won't take to long
Do you remember, I called for you
But you were gone
I thought we were safe but I was wrong
Now I'm just left here standing, looking on
You asked me which way I'll go
Which ever way the wind blows
I don't know
There is no eternity at any prize
Beggars and choosers don't get to live in paradise
People died for just one kiss
And it's plain to me
That we are not being, anything that we could be
No one wants to run the risk
Sometimes I wish I was blind
I thought I saw a whole lot more than this
