Could I

Could I live vicariously through you?
Be what I want to be through your voice, your eyes
I'm scared to walk towards the ledge
Afraid to risk falling

You seem to be nicely grounded on this stage
I'm just too afraid
Too afraid to look out onto this crowd

Could I, could I dance through you?
Give you the steps to the next move
Could I be your invisible partner
With the light shining on you
While I blend into the darkness

This used to be my desire too
But I was too scared
This has been my dream
But I've been too meek
To ask for it

I'm gaining the courage through you
Maybe I'll find my own voice
Till then keep strumming your guitar
And I'll sing along
