The heat comes in distant shifts to fill up my room |
|
It spills out of these ancient vents to meet the new cold |
|
And I lay in my twisted sheets, and stare out at the snow |
|
Thinking of the next few months, my cold and lifeless eyes |
|
No, I've never felt so separate |
|
Then there's you, but that's so obvious |
|
It's hopeless and I know this, that's why I can't dream |
|
No desire or circumstance keeps it from me |
|
One by one, to department stores, we walk through the aisles |
|
In a forest of designer clothes, you touch me and smile |
|
And know for a moment, I could want nothing |
|
Your bright eyes burn through my exploding heart |
|
We stand as the shoppers pass us |
|
And for once I can feel a touch complete |
|
I need to just be near you and fill these empty eyes |
|
You start turning as resistance pulls you from my cold and boring life |
|
Let's make this easy and let time pass, as devotion dies |
|
The list goes on and on |
|
I have waited, and I'll be waiting for the pain to cure the fear |
