lucid dreams and cigarettes linger softly
creating the atmosphere in this tiny diner.
two close friends, a boy and a girl, sit side by side
scattered compositions between them, strewn amongst the table,
laughing, trading philosophies,
drunk on caffeine just to keep them awake.
these are the nights we can get away from it all
the distractions, the pain, all that the world has to offer, and feel alive.
tonight my bird, it’s just you and i
we can do anything, we can drive anywhere.
we can sing as loud as we want to
and nobody would hear our
endless longings and musical phrases.
we are just lost in a sea of faces
waiting for love to carry us home.
life is not just some wandering journey
leading us to an endless road.
do not lose hope my dear
in the depth of grace that is open to you.
my admiration and love for you progresses
everytime you smile and sing.
beneath it all, you are empty.
the words you have say have no meaning.
run into the arms of love is my dream for you.
i will be there when that day comes.
our friendship grows through intertwined fingers
and beauty rains down through the stars as they shine
awaken from your endless slumber my darling,
and feel alive again.
the night is quiet and the earth is warm.
a storm is raging beyond the sea.
fly home my bird.
it’s just you and me.
the love you deserve will set you
free.

Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands
And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church
The one on the corner you said frightened you
It was too dark and too large to find your soul in

Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles

And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like God’s own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood

As motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs
You take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms
We both laugh out loud and surrender to it
The sheer force of sky and the cold magnet Earth

Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles

And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like God’s own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood
