Impasse

Curl up in pajamas and fluffy socks
Turn on the tele, watch Garrett on the docks
Will I ever be Teresa, ever have her luck?
But I'm just a some-girl caught in the muck

I'd like to change the channel, but my fingers are still
I remember crying like her on my windowsill
I'm tired of these movies that make you sad
When you realize what's there is what you'll never have

(Instrumental)

I'm going out to dinner, but I don't know where
Called my best friend up, why would he care?
Yet he arrives with a smile and takes me away
I'm staring in his eyes, not listening to the words he says

Everything is great about this evening out
I want to stand on the tables and sing aloud
But then I remember he's got a fiancé to return to
In love with a man who'll never know how much I do

(Instrumental)

I keep reaching out only to be disappointed
Why can't I grasp anything and somehow hold onto it?
I'm sick of setting high hopes and feeling crushed
It hurts me so deep inside as I fall into the dust

(Instrumental)

Maybe I should grab a blanket and sleep
Wish I could a while, but I must stop to weep
All that keeps me going is the thought that you're watching over me

Please bless me with someone to hold me tight tonight
