It's feels like I've waited an eternity for this
It's never about meeting lips but the eternity before a kiss
There's no flight that we could take no wanderlust we could fake
To run from the person behind the mistakes we make
Solitary views of planes that I haven't even known yet
It doesn't matter were you lay your head cause you'll always be homeless
For lack of better terms I feel were both out of touch
Love me, coldly hold me or am I asking for too much
I don't think I could come up with the lyric half as sweet
as you confessing you are as broken as me
She said her hopes drop in synch with every piano key
Context defines content that's why you sing tragedy
You would have never guessed it but its raining again
I dont want to ask what's wrong but how could I not say a thing
If Its really gonna crash and burn lets share this moment together
As I take in the color of your eyes and this world caving in weather
I don't wanna sleep I just wanna run, and take the long way home from myself
If I let my hands crack and splinter from washing them too much
maybe the pain that sinks in can remind me of our lust
and call it passion
but peel back the layers you'll see folly you'll see foolishness
It wrecks us it will crush us
I'm sorry but the truth is self evident
we can see that through our vices
and with vices like this
thats why theres notes of sorrow in our melodies
contrast that with notes of hope in our epiphanies
we can construct and disect and see our lives are full of symphonies
pull back our views and its easy to see
that in our pain
our outlook can get skewed between you and me
we're nothing in the larger picture but thats nothing to get hung up on
you're a flash, not a fixture
you're the vapor not the rain
you're neither your problems or your pain
You are loved
I don't wanna sleep I just wanna run, and take the long way home from myself
This is the end of my confession
The end of the night
This is the end of me wrong
the end of your right
now turn the lights off
try your best to breathe
turn the lights off
and remember me
this is the end of night
good morning
