Sometimes I get scared being alone in the lightning Sometimes I get scared being anywhere alone at all Sometimes I wake up and I wonder if I’m dying Sometimes I wake up and I wonder if I’m here at all And I know it’s over, that’s not lost on me But I find myself missing your company These rococo surroundings bring it out of me Just give me a little longer with my memories It’s kind of strange watching and not being any nearer I feel a little lost knowing that there’s nothing I can do It’s like watching from behind a one way mirror I see you moving but I can’t reach out to you Sometimes I wonder what you’re thinking when you see me When I bump into you running around town I’m getting tired of feeling like I’m getting nowhere I think I’ve had enough of beating myself down And I know it’s over, that’s not lost on me But I find myself missing your company These rococo surroundings bring it out of me Just give me a little longer with my memories

I’ve written novels about you On the empty pages of my brain It’s an incomplete story But it mystifies me all the same I spend our conversations Lost in your supernova eyes I’m miles away, with a mind full of you My body’s filling up with desire And would you mind, would it be fine If I drove to you across state lines Would it align with your designs If you’re the only thing on my mind We made it to the lake before sunset We had the beach and a bottle of wine You kissed me and I felt my world reset Under the stars I lost track of the time I could hold you till the sun exploded Splinters of stars filling the evening air Millions of embers drifting Landing in the waterfall of your hair And would you mind, would it be fine If I drove to you across state lines Would it align with your designs If you’re the only thing on my mind And would you mind, would it be fine If I fell for you across state lines Would that align with your designs Because it’s only a matter of time
