distance didnt extinguish the fire Ive had to carry
the miles between us took the wheel inside my soul
driving me into the ocean of our fragmented love, burning me slow
more broken than you'll ever know
than you'll ever know

a master guitarist, every strum precise
knowing my body’s secrets, the exact notes to entice
your fingers dancing like music pressing just right
bringing me to heights like stars in the night
the way we made love, it was more than skin
It was fire, it was my our prayer, it was everything

I know it cuts, the thought of me with someone new
but I was drowning what else could I do?
I needed touch, I needed breath
I was dancing with ghosts, flirting with death
It wasn't love, not like you
their hearts were empty, their eyes untrue
I felt like a rag doll passed around
searching for the pleasure I lost when you left town

and in case you pondered
to know you too, looked for comfort in others
makes me feel empty and haunted like an angry ghost
its excruciating for me too,  a wound that even time cant close
guess we lit ourselves like candles in the wind
b urned fast... burned wrong...lost in shameful sin
but no one ever held the flame like you
no one ever loved me like you used to do
you were the ease, the song in the wind

Something in California and New York lied
they said I'd be okay without you by my side
but the nights turned cold and time stood still
I still reached for you and I always will

I never found your touch again
it faded like smoke in the pouring rain
the best of my life, that’s who you were
now I’m scared of losing the way you
declared your love to me first (although..I felt it all along and you know it)
but I was stuck in a love less marriage and you hate me for saying so
but what was a woman to do, when she was hollow
you were a flame in a world gone dark
resurrected my body and soul, then it tore apart
I don’t know where we go from here…
but just know, I was shattered dear

Do you still feel me in your bones?
when you're lying awake and you're all alone
did we burn too bright, too fast, too soon?
am I just a ghost now beneath your west coast moon

I never found your touch again
It faded like smoke in the pouring rain
the best of my life, that’s who you were
now I’m scared of losing the way you declared love first (but I felt it all along)
you were a flame in a world gone wrong, gone dark
resurrected my soul and made me strong
then it tore apart
i don’t know where we go from here…
but just know, I was shattered, dear

from California fire to New York snow
I carried your love everywhere I'd go
and though we're lost, just so you know
you are bound to me
and still l wish for you
