silky sweat
hands on my neck
in a cloud of sweet perfume and cigarettes
just pull me in
skin to skin
baby I can't breathe
I could dim the lights
you could stay the night
or run off again my little firefly
on and off
and on and off again
flashing lights after dusk
I can see just long enough
to keep me scared of the dark
so I'll be waiting
I hit the bars you like
not a sign of life
but maybe I'll catch you there next friday night
you'll never tell
I'll prove myself again
flashing lights after dusk
I can see just long enough
to keep me scared of the dark
I'm off the floor
you're at my door
and it don't seem so complicated anymore
on and off
and round and round again

A Long Walk Home
04:30

|
my head's still spinning
I'm dragging my ass home through empty streets
slurring through sweet nothings at some mirage off in the night
somethings never change
I'm still out there digging holes, searching for something
but like water you come flowing right back in
your voice the very last sound
I hear before I sleep
somethings never change
somethings never change
I don't wanna fight this fight but I know
you can't outrun what you can't see
if I close my eyes
in the dimming light
come tomorrow night
could I forget myself
and your name
coursing through my veins
every plan we made
all that wasted time
there's a part of my soul
that's waiting on you still
searching everywhere for some half remembered truth
for so long
so long
so long

it's a late night
so don't wait up for dinner
I'll do my best to get back home before you sleep
I couldn't find the right words this morning
and I'm driving home to you tonight
empty handed still
I'm in front of you
but you stare at me blindly
you call but I can't hear
another night, another year
I've searched each part of myself that I can
but there are things that I've stopped trying to understand
for every moment that we've given
every prayer I sent so brave into the night
you're silent like a stone
what are we chasing
if not each other
how far can we run
cause honey I'm just so tired, and I can't fight for you tonight
I slip under cold sheets
you feign sleep beside me
your breath unsteady as my pulse
another night, another year

Glass

|
and I have all but forgotten
the sound of your voice
the words that beckoned me home
I'm here helplessly mindlessly
chasing after the echo you left in my soul
oh how she sings,
how she remembers
how she slips away
like a feather on finger tips
your hand just a hair's breadth away each night
no, I don't wanna change your mind
I'm just looking for the courage to say goodbye
cause I'd give it all
to walk through that fire again
I would give anything
to remember that sound
cause oh how she sings
how she remembers
oh I'm helpless, helpless, helpless
shadow in my mind
dream I left behind
fact or fiction I know
that you ain't coming back
eyes that saw my soul
once like doorways home
staring at me now
cold and empty as glass
