Metaphor in Parentheses

[Verse 1]
Darkness spreads it lonely wings
On the high horizons of our hopes and dreams
As long shadows grow, now they're fading
In the twilight of our hopeful waiting
The tide is rising
The tide is rising

[Chorus]
O girl, you're needed tonight
Behind your eyes there's a light
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful girl
Beautiful girl

[Verse 2]
Do what you will
I'm not leaving tonight
Under the weight of a clear endless sky
It seems like we waste all our time making time
I could spend all of mine inside your eyes
Do what you will, I'm believing tonight
I've left behind all the 'whens?' and the 'whys?'
Seems like I waste all my time making rhymes
I could spend all of mine inside these lines

[Chorus]
O girl, you're needed tonight
Behind your eyes there's a light
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful girl
Beautiful girl
O girl, you're needed tonight
Behind your eyes there's a
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful girl
Beautiful girl

[Bridge]
Though I taste my tears, there is victory
Love has conquered fear, truth will carry me
Oh
