On a cold night,
The sky had never seemed so black,

Caught by surprise,
Knocked me off my feet,
Took me like a hurricane,
Touched me like I’ve never been tainted,
Pulling me in against you,

It took me so long to get here,
But I blame it all on meeting you,
Feels like there’s nothing I can’t do,
I’m afraid I’m going to lose you,
Before we get a chance.

If you’re going to let me down,
Make it quick and painless,
I don’t think I can wait another minute more,
Before I drive myself crazy with possibilities,
They’re endless, my mind is thirsty for the truth,
It’s been a long time since I felt so sure of someone,
But maybe it’s just the rush of adrenaline,
I’m awaiting disappointment,
What else could it be arising?
I could never be good enough for you,
Bad news, the phone is silent,
Every noise I hear stirs this sick feeling,
Seems I have so much to say every day that you don’t call.
Drink away this despair,
Blur the sweetness beyond recognition,
So I can’t overanalyze,
Rehearse my lines,
Just to forget as soon as your voice sounds,
So I lay with all these thoughts to sort,
Keep me awake, come find me somewhere in my sleep,
what is it that keeps you feeding me suspense.

Struck down,
I am ignited,
Words fumble softly,
Strong and resounding,
Where we’re tangled and met,
Unlaced and exposed,
There’s nowhere to hide,
And I’m fine,
For once I’m right,
A darker shade of gray,
I’m honestly lost,
Shake these thoughts,
Purify my mind,
I can’t say aloud,
What you wish you knew,
Ideas I can’t scratch away.
My mind, can’t make itself,
Stop thinking,
Time is ticking,
One breath closer,
To sinking,
Will I break before morning?
