“Again”

developing images of happy times
getting lost in photographed eyes
you press fast forward, I hit rewind
you don’t mind jumping into a brand new lie

Let love guide us
Let shining hearts devour darkness
Let what’s left between us
   stand time’s grating test

you used to play as lightning for my soul
now you’re just a flint to my gasoline stomach
I dive backwards into my bed
looking to etch your name into true love’s plaque again

I want to see tiny lights shine bright tonight
Feel the pulse of the connected whole
Tight arms around the one who holds my soul
I want to be blinded by your light…again
