These Embers Won't Fade, Tonight Tonight

Driving home from Thomas'
The moon just gets brighter and brighter
As these streets grow darker and darker
Wondering whether or not I'll go home
See a red light on the machine
For me

Firing sparks fly in the air
The smell of your sweet hair
Your scent trickles in over miles
Like a thousand glistening smiles

Yet the embers that you stoked
Have had their chance to settle down
Mellow down in silence with her
The car's still moving
Will there be a light?
My light won't shine tonight

It's time for a declaration of faith
I'm waiting here waiting for somone to say
Everything is going to be alright (give the world a chance to sight)
You will find arms
Though they may not be hers
