Before confetti rained down from the sky, And after all the days that spell goodbye, I still wish upon those satellites, And taste your breath in neon lights, I swear I wanted to tell you everything, In a song I never wrote and couldn’t sing, But instead I became roads and miles, As you wore fancy shoes and empty smiles, And found truth between the words of liars, While I found hope amongst a sea of tires, But still I wonder, from time to time, Do I still steal your thoughts in silent crime? Some days I wish I could live it all again, Shake a few words from this empty pen, But I know it’s far too late to pay that cost, We’ve already become the things we lost, So tonight I’ll act someone else’s age, As you find solace on that empty page, Waiting to discover a love honest and true, Someone worthy to write it down for you.
Written mostly in my head at the Paul McCartney show last night.
