We'll Wait Until We're Dead

Wrote this on a cold night.

It was a lonely little night
Just a bit chilly
That's when you called out to me
You said you just wanted to talk
So I turned down the music and I listened
Each word that came from your mouth
I could not see because I was focused
On the glamour of your eyes
And how I could see my own reflection
Just for once it didn't seem
Like a noticable horror

I don't know what he did
I suppose I may never
But its not place, you see, I'm just curious
To find out each secret
I keep my own and do well to hide them
But I can't fix myself
For so long I've been busted
So when I see something
That I cling to
All I want to do is help it
Take you out of the rain and into a warm bed
And there we can share nothing

I drive up and down the road
The lights are bright but they don't stop me
From dreaming about days long ago
Where I was a reflection of composure
I drank the water on the side of the road
It hurt so bad but I was thirsty
Then it all came to me
In a big bright flash
That I may never be
A Hollywood celebrity
Or even a difference maker
This could be it, yeah it could
Very well be

So on that lonely little night
I came home and thought about you
Wondered what you had thought when you saw me
Close the door and leave
Did you wonder the same or were you just so cold
That you wanted to run
And even though I think god's a fake
I still pray for the end
Each day I wake up and hope that something
Has gone terribly wrong
But when I come out into the cold air
I see that we're all still living
Yeah, I guess it's just time to move on
Tomorrow is coming quickly
But in the same fact
I keep a thought that just maybe
You thought the same and I will hear your voice
Which just might cause a smile
