So many cities and so far you're privy
to the places you can't find yourself
all the while lookin' all the while searchin'
the faces starin' and the voices singin'
I bet you know how many miles it takes
to New York City
and how many stops are in between
I can see you on my TV and the view is great from here
yeah this window pane is lighting up my eyes
and I hear you sing of Nashville sometimes California
here I am with a window seat
How many Bibles have you read in all the motels
hidden by the Gideons
all for preachin Jesus to the restless and the hopeless
the wayward and the broken
I bet you could count all the cracks above you
up on that ceilin'
and how many dreams are stuck in between (yeah)
CHORUS
Bridge: So there you are, and you're living my dream
but the difference between you and me
's that you're there and I'm not
I'm in a window seat....
