Shine on. We spill our blood out on the stage. With sheafs of words winds blow away.
I'm writing: "Forsake this world another way." A million times. In different ways.
Light my days. Shoulder me and stand me proud.
Find a way to need me now and be, as they say, mine.
Write my name on stationary bound for flames 'cause forever is a word I'll have to learn.
Breathe deep. Suddenly you're on your own with restless hands for vacant phones.
Nights away. Phonebooth romance and shattered hopes, ink-less pens and frozen roads.
Light my days. Shoulder me and stand me proud.
Find a way to need me now and be, as they say, mine.
Write my name on stationary bound for flames 'cause forever is a word I'll have to learn.
This is the one, the song, the words to get me through these homesick filled days.
Streetlamps to light our nights and block the stars out 'cause they're just reminding me
that we are not far with cars and phones and freeways, we breathe the same air.
With my name in flames this same shit is just grade-school. And I'll try to light my days...
Write my name on stationary bound for flames 'cause forever is a word I'll have to learn.
