Red Lights
I've been away.
It might be more accurate to say that I've been here while you've been there.
And there was where I always wanted to be but wasn't.
As if want knows what I need but need doesn't.
Need never knew you,
The way I'm still not sure I do.
Guess I'm still learning,
Still concerning myself with the things I don't know.
I don't know.
Don't know if you're breath is the wind and I'm just the kite.
I don't know if you need me, but if you do, I'll be home tonight.
*song start*
Veil is thin between the chambers,
Of my heart,
And your heart.
Lines are blurred, the ones that tell the shape,
Of my heart,
From your heart.
Veil is thin
This design (???)
Clouds are thick upon the mountain tops,
Tonight x4
*song end*
I'll be home tonight.
Despite the road throwing rocks at my bedroom window and begging me to keep it company,
The road and me...
We are lonely even when together.
But you,
Whether I've spent one month away from you or one minute.
Love doesn't understand distance,
Because even when you're away from it, you're still in it.
And though I'm not sure how,
I know now everyone red light secretly wishes it were a green light.
And I'm wishing those wishes get granted so that they'll speed me home tonight.
*song start*
Veil is thin between the chambers,
Of my dreaming,
And the morning.
Lines are blurred, the ones that tell the shape,
Of my being,
From the blankness of night.
Tonight x3
*song end*
I will wake in the morning with the road tugging at my restlessness.
And regardless of this, I will reminisce only of last night,
When you closed my eyes and touch became sight,
My hands moving slowly over you as if I couldn't stop staring.
Our arms around us as if we were wearing each other to bed.
And in the morning,
The sunlight bled through the blinds only to remind us we have eyes.
We kept them closed.
Not to fend off the day or keep out the light,
But just to remind us of what last night will look like tonight.
