Street Lights

1/29/05

When we went out it was such an amazing night,
Everything seemed perfect, everything so right
I didn't want it to end and you said it didn't have to
You found our street light, and told me just to trust you
You said "when you need to see me you can always come here,
when we need eachother or if you want to feel me near."

And of course I believed you,
what else was I to do,
You are the greatest love that I have known,
and yet now here below this street light, I sit alone
I am here because I need you, and I thought you would too,
I told you that I'd wait, and every word is true.

It's raing now and it doesn't change a thing,
All these memories of you, I sit here and I cling,
as it pours I begin to relize all my fears,
now it's hard to decern the raindrops from the tears.
Normally, I might be getting cold, wet from all the rain,
but none of that matters, all I feel is all this pain.

I told you that I'd wait for you, no matter how long it took
I guess you caught me with a lie, as I bit down on this hook.
Do you know that I love you, don't you know that I care,
I shut my eyes now, sometime's life's just not fair
I wonder when I can put this shit into my past,
You were the one, and so much better than the last,
but I don't want my life to end and I don't want someone new,
All I really want, all I've ever wanted was you

So I will lay here as long as it takes,
until the wind and the elements make my body break.
I only hope my waiting is isn't invain.
I hope there's a reason for my lying in the rain,

below this lonley streetlight, that makes me think of you.
