lyrics

Under lights that shine like stars above the street
Carving out the shadows stretched from you and me
Words unspoken - their voices incomplete
Things fall apart now as the silence screams

You were on the run
Away from an obligation
That kept your heart numb
Tried to keep you playing
All those losing games
That drew you to them
Like a moth to a flame

Signs that only keep you from your journey’s end
Flickering against the coldness of our skin
A silent memory that scars at once then heals again

You were on the run
Trying to break the tethers
Around what you’ve become
With a promised offering
And a whispered prayer
If I turned around now
Would I still find you there?

The light is fading
But the stars are out

The stars are out now
But our map is gone

In the shadow of the places that we’ve been
I turned around and tried calling out your name
Waited there until I heard your voice again
I waited there, but it never came

You were on the run
Trying to save your spirit
From the harm done
But if you ever find
That the light is fading
My love
I’ll keep the exits illuminated
