I love to watch the cars drive

After dark when the headlights glow

A river of light

Rushing ruby and white

Blending into the night as they go

The sky holds back secrets till morning

Like the curtain before the show

The pinpricks of light

Stars barely in sight

Announce there’s still one act to go

And I wait for something to happen

To remind me there’s more to my life

Than what I can see

Looking over the street

With the sounds and the blurs of the night

I’ve forgotten to drink enough water

And the moon’s not the touch of a hand

The simplest things

More than visions and dreams

Make life something I understand

I grasp for a moment of mystery

But the magic is caught in the day

When everything’s real

I can say how I feel

And you remind me I’m okay

Images of grandeur mislead me

And the day starts to set with the sun

Everything was right there

But I was too scared

To let you know what’s really going on

I don’t need the glamour of midnight

Or to heighten my sense of what’s real

I just need you near

And to know that you hear

When I tell you the way that I feel.

The world’s full of fools who love romance

But are too scared to show you their soul

I’m scared what you’ll do

If I let you see through

To the me that feels out of control

I look at the world full of wonder

Cause I’m too scared to see who I am

To not be alone

I’d have to be known

I want to but don’t know if I can

You’ve been a good friend in the day time

Whether or not I’m pretending I’m fine

I’d like you to know

All the love that I hold

And to finally let you see inside
