Peripheral People

And then it came to me last night,
when I was on the phone with you,
In your life…
I exist peripherally
Like a bolt straight to my brain
and then I knew
In your life…
I exist peripherally
Standing out in the background
It’s a guest starring role
Everyone in the crowd can see
You’re not coming back home with me
Where, are the peripheral people?
Where, are the peripheral people?
the peripheral people
the peripheral people
the peripheral people
And you said to me last night,
when I was on the phone with you,
In your life…
I exist emotionally
But in my mind,
That’s just telling me you knew
That in your life…
I exist peripherally
Standing out in the background
It’s a guest starring role
Everyone in the crowd can see
You’re not coming home with me
Where, are the peripheral people?
Where, are the peripheral people?
the peripheral people
the peripheral people
the peripheral people
the peripheral people
the peripheral people
the peripheral people
