When I'm on stage
And the melodies are all of what surround me
My mind just can't stay focused
It's wandering to places that it shouldn't be
Oh, my mouth will sing the words
My hands playing the chords
But I don't know where my heart is
I've searched but I can't seem to find it anymore
And all I know is
That my ears will hear the music
Mouth and hands support the song
My feet tap to the beat
And my head will nod along
My mind is nowhere to be found
It's wondering why you're not around
My voice starting to strain
The strings callous my fingertips
My legs they start to shake
But my eyes they still search in front of me
Hoping that they'll see you in the crowd
All I want is one more chance
To have my songs make up your plans
Everyone else can disappear
These words are only for you to hear
I just need a single sign
That it's not over, you'll be here tonight
I close my eyes and hope desperately
When they open that it's you I'll see
My voice sings the words
My hands play the guitar
My ears hear the music
But my eyes were looking for you in the crowd
You're not in the crowd
