burnt out street lights
lining my way
ahead is empty black space
i will light it up
you’ll see
i don’t need love
but it would be sweet
if you were here with me
when i reach the end
rain pours down again
gutters run with the wind
people scatter across the street
no eye contact looking at feet
and i’m just smiling
i’m just laughing
i’m standing still
waiting for my thrill
i will light it up
you’ll be free
i don’t need love
if it’s only killing me
if you aren’t here with me
when i reach the end
i’ll forgive you always
time and time again
dark highway ahead
long road way home
thinking about the hidden meanings
in the things specially said
you stood there watching me
a lay naked in the heat
you mumbled something
while i pretend to sleep
i will light it up
you’ll be sheen
we don’t need love
just a few hours in between
if you aren’t there with me
when i rise again
i’ll find you in the stars
reborn alive my friend
