staring up at bright blank walls
i can't remember anything at all
but in a dream i saw you standing in a light
a silhouette with yr florescent eyes
staring back into mine
waking up to start another day
they've been all the same since you went away
i hear yr voice from far across the sea
a calming tone that washes over me
just barely out of reach
and i thought i saw you
but it was too good to be true
swallowed a week down
melted and sank through
and you are the rhythm
that my heart needs
to make a difference
even when yr half the world away
and i'll count every minute
of this cataclysm
till yr back home next to me
