The ceiling fan
stirs up the night
twirling shadows in the dark
I close my eyes
and feel your heartbeat
knowing for sure
you're out there somewhere
falling asleep
listening to mine.

I smolder
as you edge closer
and as the smoke rises
you take my hand
      and lead me into desire
as the flames lick and engulf us
our paper hearts are set on fire.

Did you know
that when I think of you
I'm bathed in shades of blue,
and I often wonder
if you ever think of me
what color would I seem to you?

Sitting on this window's ledge
I pour myself a cup of rage
and ready with a pen and paper
I'll wait for the unheard melodies
that filter through the silent night
rain down on me and wash me clean.

I followed your eyes
and they have led me astray
help me I'm free falling
like confetti from your lips
won't you catch me
or the winds will carry me away.

Saw you today
you haven't changed a bit
except your hair's a little shorter
but that old jacket still fits just fine
"can I buy you a coffee,
for old times sake,"
it's nothing but some harmless fun
if you've got nowhere else to be

we'll laugh about back then
and how it all turned out
and you can lightly brush my hand
with a smile from behind your cup
for now let's pretend like we always did
hiding from yesterday
lost in the here and now.

In the dark places
haunted memories
of you and me
linger,
as I slip into a deep reverie
that although you're gone
and I'm here all alone
I can never be
truly free.
