I’m doing all I can to wait until I hear this straight from you. I’m mixing colors, mixing signals, missing you. I’ve tried a thousand times. Breathe deep between the lines. Fade away, it will fix everything. We’ve come this far. And I don’t need a reason. Asleep alone come wandering again. We’ve come this far. And I don’t need a reason. So I’ll leave the light on for you. I’ll twist the knife in for you. Leave me alive until you lay down by my side. So tell me something parting silence everything to point of view. I’m hearing what I’d like to hear believing you. I’ve tried a thousand times. Breathe deep between the lines. To walk away is to fix everything. You twist the knife again and again and again and again and again.

As night falls, your words are ringing above all. And now the summer rain is gone. Pawn the photos on your wall. I’m standing in the same place that you left me. And I’ll stay until you find your way back here again. Everything that I wish I could say to you fell between the skies we stare into. So promise me you’ll tell me everything tonight. And if this ink ever runs dry maybe you’ll fail and wonder why.

Don’t say you’re sorry. I’ve heard it far too many times. We play these stupid games from a million miles away. But I don’t care. As long as I can hold you when I’m there. It’s 1 AM back home. I call you on the phone. Just two shadows in the sky. Just for tonight. You speak to me in rhymes, reminding me of all the times the wrong words sat upon my tongue unspoken. It’s 2 AM back home. I can’t do this on my own. Just two shadows in the sky. Stay for a while, cause we might be onto something, baby. As I say goodbye, I can see myself in the reflection in your eyes. Don’t say you’re sorry. I’ve heard it far too many times. Another summer night. We drive until it’s light. Add another to the list of plans I have to make you mine. It’s 3 AM back home. We’re finally alone. Just two shadows in the sky. Stay for a while baby. I’ll savor you.

Oceans 04:11
Under this city you’d find what used to be my dreams. When you rise over the skyline it makes a mess of everything. And to this day I wonder what it’s like to be the biggest star up in your sky. I found in you intention to model myself into your world. Determine through a smile from you. Attention to everything. So take me anywhere. Breathe a word and disappear. To find you wandering up with the angels. Take me anywhere. Anywhere so far from here. Under this city I’ve seen a million shades of gray. The way you fell inward for shadows makes a mess of every day. And to this day I wonder what it’s like to be the biggest star up in your sky. Take me anywhere. So far from here.

I Apologize 03:30
My cigarette lights up the road behind me. It’s taking me from you. I’m kicking dirty habits. Will you have it? Say something. Breathe it in. You’ve taken everything. Since you’ve been away dancing in the moonlight, you won’t hear I’m sorry tonight. And my cigarette burns to my finger tips. Pressed against your lips. I’m kicking dirty habits. Will you have it? Say something. Breathe it in. You’ve taken everything. I’ve tried and tried to tell you this. You’re just the breath in between the kiss I’ll share with someone special. You’re just the water in my lungs. I’m just a raindrop on your tongue. And I’m so sorry.

Your intentions wrapped and sealed carefully. Patiently my eyes will follow line by line. Paint a picture where you’d rather be tonight. Honestly it seems we’re running out of time. You know I know. And I can tell. Silver linings that you wear so well. If we knew now what we knew then. We’d pass regret into the night again. I can taste it on your lips the way you never needed this. Please give me something to forget. If we knew now what we knew then. We’d pass regret into the night again. I told you then. I’ll tell you now. I’ll find a way to make you mine somehow.

So honestly. The way your body tells the story of the summer nights you spent away from me. And honestly, there is no other place I’d rather be. So sound the alarms. It’s going to take more than a miracle to save me from your charms. So sound the alarms. It’s going to take more than a miracle. And every smile that fake could be your last. Spend another night here living in the past. And every smile that you fake could be your last. Spend another night at home. And suddenly, I’m seeing clearly in the places that you always kept from me. And suddenly, there is no other place I’d rather be.

So take the long way back home tonight. Don’t say a thing. Stereo seventeen, red and green. And everything I’m thinking is surfacing. Night brings all the daydreams I can’t share with you, my dear. I’ll stay awake just to know you’re still here. I can’t sleep, your face turned from me. I picture flashing lights above me. I’m lost in your silhouette. I see you standing in the window. In the window looking west. Tell me a thousand stories. Say anything. To see you in a magazine, a movie screen is everything you dream and it’s happening. Night brings all the daydreams I can’t share with you, my dear. I’ll stay awake just to know you’re still here. Your hands are on the back of my neck again. Your eyes are in the air. I will stay wide awake again tonight to know you’re still here.

I’d paint your hair crimson red. And your eyes blue instead. If I could I’d draw a heart for you. Fix it in between the essence of my hands. Illuminate the arteries until you understand. I’d paint your hair crimson red. The end of this halo on your head. And your eyes. So hold me close tonight. And take me with you when you leave. We’ll watch the pieces falling closely into place. I’ll make you believe. And if I could see the world in different colors. I’d read it in the air as signals send them through. But every one is just a different shade of you. I’d paint your hair crimson red. The end of this halo on your head. And your eyes. So hold me close tonight.
