Standing, Out of focus
©,Friday, 14 January 2005
Peter FitzGerald,
Song ID# 0105_20
Verse 1
Lost, that's how it felt
Beside you everyday
So near that I could smell you
So far, another place
Holding out for signals
Holding out for signs
Never could I tell you
I never could face . . . .
Bridge
Blur, Blur, Blur,
And the she walked away
Chorus
Now I'm standing here
Standing, Just out of focus
Now I'm standing here
Standing, Just out of frame
Verse 2
I never made advances
I never took a chance
I never took advantage
Of luck or circumstance
Holding out for moments
Holding out in hope
Never could I tell you
I never could face . . . .
Bridge
Blur, Blur, Blur,
And the she walked away
Chorus
Now I'm standing here
Standing, Just out of focus
Now I'm standing here
Standing, Just out of frame
Bridge
Blur, Blur, Blur,
And the she walked away
Chorus
Now I'm standing here
Standing, Just out of focus
Now I'm standing here
Standing, Just out of frame
Verse 3
Walking past you now
Like walking in the past
Never was I brave
Never could I face
Holding out was wasted
Holding out was lame
Never could I tell you
I never could face . . . .
Bridge
Blur, Blur, Blur,
And the she walked away
Chorus x 2
Now I'm standing here
Standing, Just out of focus
Now I'm standing here
Standing, Just out of frame
Song Story
About 9 months after our separation my EX made a video on the life one of our daughters, and to me delight, I was "cropped" from there lives, even in stills I was removed, the feelings that I had that moment wouldn't have made a good song ( not exactly, radio friendly "acceptable use of language")so I used the photographic metaphor from a different angle.
