You live in the distance where day loses name,
Where the ocean forgets who it’s trying to blame.
I loved you like longing, like dusk loves the sea,
Like the girl in the doorway you swore you would be.

You were velvet and static, a half-finished song,
Beautiful, broken, and gone far too long.
I traced you through dark times and through smoke-colored skies,
Through motel confessions and television lies.

I begged you to anchor, to stay in the light,
But your heart beat in shadows, in cold neon nights.
You kissed like the promise of something brand new,
But vanished each time that I got close to you.

And loving you felt like chasing the line
Where the heavens get drunk and forget how to shine.
You live in the place I can never quite reach;
Where the tide pulls back and the sirens preach.

So I dress in my silence, in roses and blue,
Staring out past the world, still waiting for you.
But the truth is a shore that I can't step across...
The horizon won’t hold me, and for now you're lost.
