Shed never stared too long at distant lights
She always kept the ones here close and bright
-
She met me in the darkness, reached out for my hand and said goodnight
Shes constant like the ringing in my ears
Shes drowning out the silence of my fears
-
Ive looked for her reflection in all the pretty girls throughout the years
Shes staring at the shadows dancing on the wall
Shes the New York City skyline bound to catch the heavens if they fall
She never signed her paintings with her name
She surrendered I love yous with bitter shame
-
She echoed in the season and filled me with her sweet Italian rain
She's burning like the fires of the sun
She's friday night when sundays almost done
-
She's fireflies and splinters long after the winter has begun
-
I see her wrapping ribbons somewhere down the hall
She's a million simple answers waiting for your midnight drunken call
She's the memory of something you can feel
She's hidden in the world that she conceals
She's strength and every weakness beating in a heart you cannot steal
She never shows the color of her eyes
She's far away but closer than the sky
Im waiting in her footsteps if shes not the truth I'll take the lie
She's a water colored window far across the sea
She's a burning neon spotlight shining on the things I cannot leave
she never turns the light out for the moon
she always shows up late when im too soon
She's the harmony in whisper singing along with all my sappy tunes
She's all the reasons why you run away
She's all the reasons why you wanna stay
her tangled part of mystery is gonna bleed for someone else someday
I see her in the bedroom sleeping next to me
She's enough grace and wisdom to set the whole world free
She's staring at the shadows dancing on the wall
She's the NYC skyline bound to catch the heavens if they fall
