Lucky #10

Never one for strings or ties
Not so easily mesmerized
This goodbye girl should've seen you comin' for a mile

Desperate eyes and knowing smile
Shining lights, familiar faces
You struck lightning through me. It was trouble from the start

Now I'm drowning again
Too many thoughts in my head

Now, this was going somewhere fast
Painless goodbyes soon a thing of the past
You pulled me in, but I pushed you away stupidly
That's just me

Now summer's fading into the fall
And I'm sitting with regret
Hoping you'll make that midnight call
Miles apart, and colder than I've ever been
Only you can make me warm again

This place doesn't feel like home
This room is a tower
Built from all my woes
Engraved in cobblestone
So I'm up in the clouds
Trying and trying to get down
But I can't escape my feelings right now

And I'm climbing the walls
Because what I thought we were
Turned into nothing at all

Now winter's fading into the spring
And my kaleidoscope heart is all dark and empty
I stubbornly swore that I'd let you go
And now I know
So please, count me in

You're all I want
And I'm done with second-best
And I'm conscious
And I promise
That this climb will be worthwhile
I see your fate in your smile
And you know, as summer moves into fall
If we open up our hearts, we might just have it all
No longer apart and closer than we've ever been
We can be us again
Again
