Circus Zombie - Behind the Wall Lyrics

I'm here from a distance, coming down the hall I can tell I've never been in a fight
The sound of her crying through my wall Kept me up every single night
When I see her, I'm gonna ask her What kind of guy is she really after
When I see her, I've gotta ask her To trade away her tears for a little laughter

Let me be your man, let me be the one To chase away the rain, bring out the sun
Let me be your man, let me be the one Throw away your anger, baby, just have some fun
Give me a chance, I'll do the best that I can Let me be the one, baby, let me be your man
I see her standing out by her car Waiting ever so patiently

Like a shadow searching for the northern star Praying for a miracle so quietly
When I see her, I'm gonna ask her What kind of guy is she really after
When I see her, I've gotta ask her To trade away her tears for a little laughter
Let me be your man, let me be the one To chase away the rain, bring out the sun

Let me be your man, let me be the one Throw away your anger, baby, just have some fun
Give me a chance, I'll do the best that I can Let me be the one, baby, let me be your man
Be the one
Be the one

Baby, let me be your man
I went to the movies, saw her sitting by herself I could tell she was dying inside
She's way too shy to ask a stranger for some help A broken heart hidden behind all that pride
There she was, it was all up to me So I, I stood up and went on over, madam, if you please

There I was, for the whole world to see So I, I sat down and looked into her eyes
Is it you, is it me? Your beauty's got me hypnotized
I was over there, then I realized The only place for me is the only place for you
The only place for you is to be with me For the first time, I see her smiling

It brightened up the whole damn room We talked for one seat, could be a while
The next thing I knew, I was out of the room The lights go out and through the walls, she'll be crying no more
The next time you see her coming down the hall Just ask her what she is smiling for
So the movies saw her sitting by herself I could tell she was dying inside

She's way too shy to ask a stranger for some help A broken heart hidden behind all that pride
There she was, it was all up to me So I, I stood up, I stood up and went on over
