Lyrics
As I wake I see in shadows, a thousand faces yet unnamed. As I bake amongst the desert clouds I look, but noone's around. I look, and I'm not around.
When I dream I fly to heaven. A chilled wind seems to grasp my soul. As I walk into this frozen town I look, noone's around. I look, but I'm not around.
'Cause I'm still here stranded in the forest. I'm still here I'm distracted by the trees. I'm still here and I'm right where you left me. Ain't it where you want me to be?
When the leaves begin to crumble, there's no shade left to block the sun. It seems as though the forest bears no life at all and when I shout you can't hear my call. When I shout there's almost no sound at all.
Only the past shows my reflection. The man I was cannot be found. Until I find my way back to your arms again I'll look, but you won't be around. I'll look, and I'm not around.
'Cause I'm still here stranded in the forest. I'm still here I'm distracted by the trees. I'm still here and I'm right where you left me. Ain't it where you want me to be?

I'm still here stranded in the forest. I'm still here I'm distracted by the trees. I'm still here and I'm right where you left me. Ain't it where you want me to be?
I'm still here stranded in the forest. I'm still here I'm distracted by the trees. I'm still here and I'm right where you left me. Ain't it where you want me to be?
