In the Way

 

Giles: 
You’re not ready for the world outside
You keep pretending but you just can’t hide

 

I know I said that I’d be standing by your side
But I…
Your path’s unbeaten and it’s all uphill
And you can meet it but you never will

And I’m the reason that you’re standing still
But I…

 

I wish that I could say
The right words to lead you through this land
Wish I could play
The father and take you by the hand



Wish I could stay here
But now I understand
I’m standing in the way

 

The cries around you, you don’t hear at all
Cause you know I’m here to take that call

So you just lie there when you should be standing tall

But I…

I wish I could lay
Your arms down and let you rest at last

Wish I could slay
Your demons, but now that time is past
Wish I could stay here,
Your stalwart standing fast

But I’m standing in the way
I’m just standing in the way

(spoken)
Buffy:
Did you just say something?
