5. The Rest of Today
All Along
She's got the Summer sewn into her satin dress
I've got my lips shut tight so I can hide the mess
That I'll make of myself
She's got the scent of the ocean flowing through her hair
I've got these hands of mine that don't belong anywhere
When all they want is just to place it behind her ear
And all I needed was somebody like her to stay
And if it kills me, I will find my way
All along, I've been meaning to move
All along, I've been waiting to want
All along, I've been taking my time
As my moment's come and gone
All along
She's out there playing the field, and I'm behind the stands
Insert something clichГ© here about scoring
Everything I need happens when she takes my hand
But if I don't move now I'm gonna miss my chance
Can't let her run away with the pieces of me, no
Can't let her run away with what's left of my sanity
I don't mind when she takes up my time
I don't mind when she's on my mind
I don't mind when she takes up my days
'Cause all my time has gone to waste
The Promise
I don't know how I got here; I don't know where to begin
All I know is I feel nothin' but the love that I'm in
Every step I take brings me closer to the light inside your eyes
The darkness in my heart is lifted and I need not ask why
So go on
Bring the heat and melt this heart of mine
Go on
Bring the chills that I feel run down my spine
Take my hand
And seal the promise of forever, you and I
'Cause we can be forever, you and I
You always grip my heart so tight; you always feel the truth
And for the life of me I cannot speak a single word to describe you
I'm here today for a chance to say that everything I am is for you
The bitter cold we feel outside completely nothing to this feeling
We do, we do
Delilah Rush
August sunsets seem so far away
And I'm not one to judge the tears that trickle down your face
There's something about the way you taste
That tells me I'm the one that's supposed to run the other way
You are every kind of broken that I've ever known
The furthest I have been since I left home
What is this rush I feel in my veins?
I'm so alive, living this lie
The echoes of the library
Our voices passing back and forth like lights in our dreams
I won't let you walk home alone
As you shake the tremors from your spine
The trees will shade us from the moonlight
Should I miss my only chance, I want you to know
Love is not like dying; love is everything we don't know
Little Star
The clouds, they part like eyelids from your dreams
You have come from there and back again, it seems
The wind, it shakes the trees right to the trunk
Your time was over before it had the chance to start
And through the fire I will watch you go
And in my dreams I will watch you grow
My little star
Take this world in your flame
Near and far
You'll shine free of this pain
And so bright
I will wonder what you are
By your light
I will follow you into the dark
My little star
And for a moment I swear with you I shared this firelight
And answered all your questions of this life
And my tears burned through the frost as you took flight
And the morning sun kissed my face and told me not to cry
Oh sister, I know you tried
Oh sister, I know you'll always ask why
So wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold my body up to the sun
Little star, burn this life away from me
Little star, no don't you leave me
Don't you leave me
The Rest of Today
The secrets that your body keeps
In the hours before we sleep
Like a vault that echoes deep
I lay my heart where your secrets keep
But don't wake just yet
Before our hearts regret
We insist on hurting this way
I know my weakness shows
But only heaven knows
I’ve been so strong for too long and now I pay
So let’s not waste the rest of today
The lies you tell yourself for now
We’ll learn to speak the truth somehow
And all the things I said before
I’m learning what they mean, for nothing is the way that it seems anymore
But don’t sleep just yet
Before our hearts regret
We insist on hurting this way
I know the light you left still shows
But God, only heaven knows
I’ve been so strong for too long, and now I pay
So let’s not waste the rest of today
Don’t sleep just yet
Before our hearts regret
The way we’ve spent what’s left of today
Tomorrow’s light will meet your eyes
And in the back of my withered mind
I’ve taken what’s mine, but it’s too late
‘Cause we’ve wasted the rest of today

5. If You Let Me
A Thousand Miles Away
This part of your story was never more difficult to tell, but still
We pressed on like we knew in our hearts we should anyway
Like the eventual sunset, we set out to ignite the sky
But these broken hearts opened up and flooded everything
Don't look back now, I see it's gonna rain
Just turn and run like hell before we're swallowed in pain
I feel your every breath against my neck; you're a thousand miles away
Don't turn back now, we've travelled too far
Just let it all go back now to where I belong
I see your face in my dreams from a thousand miles away
And bridging division never proved to be more difficult
But with the fire that I see in your eyes, I'll light my way to you
Across this vast expanse of reality, I see
That this road that I took from the start would lead me right in the end
Closer
I watch you in the candlelight
Your clothes are on the floor
The glow of your body, away from this party
I wanna lose control
You're the worst kind of addiction
You drag me back for more
Bloodshot eyes; my mouth is dry
I wanna use your soul
Can this be forever?
Can this be all my life?
Can you show me how to keep you this way in my mind?
Pull me closer one last time
Your fingernails are fire
You're burning down my spine
Your lips along my neck tie the noose and take my breath
I wanna die in your arms tonight
Drowning
In the silence of the floor above
A bedspring creaks down below
In the cold of the night' air between us
Your breath keeps me warm
But don't you dare wake up and remind me
Don't you remember – never-mind, me
Don't you ever find me drowning in things I don't know
Don't you ever try your reach as I embrace the depths below
Could you just lay beside me and watch the world as it burns alive?
Could you find me, and wake me from my sleep?
At the bottom of the deep end I'll meet you
And discover what the hype's all about
At the end of the shore is our secret place
Where the world we can do without
But don't you dare turn around and surprise me now
Don't you wanna forget all the tiny things now?
Beneath the crashing of the waves
You and I light up by the moon
Together, we'll swim forever
In the darkness
Beyond the swirling undertow
Regretless
I never was quite as good at this
As you always were
Nothing that we say tonight
Will make this easier
We'll stay up til the sun returns to the sky
You'll lay in my arms until the tears leave your eyes
I'll pray to the stars that your love will remain
And before we know it, we will meet again
Since the first night you looked in my eyes
And said to me "I will"
I felt the cold of your absence
When the fire gave me chills
Every stroke of breath I stole from you
As we became one
Know that you will always be
My moon, my stars, my sun
I'm gonna see this through til the end
Without you I won't pretend it's alright
To lay here without your smile
I feel you from a thousand miles away
You'll always be near in my mind
Your voice in my ear, until we meet again
We will meet again
If You Let Me
And so it was
Under skylines and twilight I just had to fall in love
And in my eyes
Like the waves on the pier, they came crashing down on your life
All I need
Is the weight of your hands, and just knowing your watching me
'Cause all I see
Is the waves in your eyes, and it feels like drowning to me
So I'll wait for this to be over
For all my days had me on to this moment
But I'm not afraid; I will take you so broken
And in my way
I will love if you let me; I'll burn til you let me go
And I will fall
Beneath the shade of your hair and the beauty of it all
Stumbling off
As drunk as I'll ever be, but I swear I'll never leave
In this voice
I hope you can see that you're all the things I need
And in this boy
I hope you can see that you've made a man of me
