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 fingertips
your hand just a hair's breadth away each night
no I don't want to 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
yes 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

Firefly

silky sweat
hand 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 stay afraid 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 out next friday night
you'd never tell
I'll prove myself again
flashing lights after dusk
I can see just long enough
to stay afraid 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

I Couldn't Be
03:16
|

|
I'm beginning to understand
just what's at stake
with each breath I take
and every word I speak to you
that shadow's closing in again
so go on, write me off
cause I can't fight it off
no not this time
but if I slip away
if I'm dust ten years from now
if I run away
into the fire
you could bury me
with everything
I couldn't be

Another Night
03:25
|
|||
|
it's a long 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
oh 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 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
