I'd like to know what makes you stay
While your eyes still search for escape.
You think that I don't feel the cold,
But I wait while confessions unfold.

You'll never make a living from reading minds
Or from getting your direction from exit signs.
Look into your heart and you won't find me there.
You won't find me where you hide, baby
And that makes us a matter of time.

Like trees exposed by fall, baby
Time reveals it all.
And you'll never make a living from reading minds
Or from getting your direction from exit signs.
Look into your heart and you won't find me there.
Oh, oh

Tell me you want to do everything
But you're stuck up to your knees.
And I'm less likely pushed forward
By ambition than a breeze.

But there's a flame that must be fanned, baby
And it appears as a beckoning hand.
Don't think 'cause you're not talking you're being kind,
You've been getting your direction from exit signs.
Look into your heart and you won't find me there
You won't find me, oh, there
You won't find, you won't find, you won't find me there
Oh, you won't find, you won't find, you won't find me there
