lyrics
A line drawn between the last kind words he said to me
crosses the slight lean of a bedpost weighed down with
someone else's dreams
and the angle cuts the creep of the morning's light
it's a diagram of a sleepless night
I fell cross this country, tis of thee that I fell down on my knees
to beg of you, or to ask of you
I said I'd trade it all away
to spend my life with you
or if nothing more,
one more night with you
And you held me in your sway,
and you held them ghosts at bay
and I'm holding tight to these precious memories,
well, they are few and far between
but here comes a new one
In that city that don't sleep
we walked amongst them grave hills steep
and you kissed me in an archway made of leaves
then sunbeams, like golden arrows pierced our skin
no friends, no saints, no strangers
only stone angels watched us then
This time, I showed you the light that lives underneath my skin
like you showed me yours that time you blinded me with all that we could be to each other
This time, we won't split that truth in half and leave each other with bitter laughs
This time, we'll know the colors of our eyes that we lose each other in, this time
This time, in separate rooms
This time, we fall asleep
This time, we throw them lamps into the street
This time, we watch that light explode
It fills the sky, until all is dark again
ready to be filled by the light that lives underneath someone else's skin
