He’s in the back… Not smiling. Just there. I came to sing the room down gently Let the quiet do the work Then I found a man in the dark Wouldn’t grin or make a smirk He watches like he’s hearing The part I never say I tell my eyes to stay with the song Stay with the lights, stay where they belong But they keep slipping back to him Like they recognized the calm Why do I keep looking back At a man who doesn't put on a show He’s just there in the dark Making the whole room seem small No smile I have to answer No line I have to catch Just that look And I keep Looking back (Ooh…) Most men lean like they already know me He sits like he’s got time Intensity without the theater A question in his eyes I feel it when I turn away Like a hand that doesn’t grab I tell my eyes to stay with the song Stay with the lights, stay where they belong But they keep slipping back to him Like they recognized the calm If he smiled I’d know the ending If he waved I’d know the game But he watches like my real name Is hiding in the refrain That’s why I can’t help it That’s why I look again (Ooh—ooh) Why do I keep looking back At a man who doesn't put on a show He’s just there in the dark Making the whole room slow No smile I have to answer No line I have to catch Just that look And I keep Looking back (Ooh I keep…) Looking back Still there… Stay like that.
