[Shane Koyczan, The Short Story Long - Red Lights lyrics]
I've been away
It might be more accurate to say that
I've been here while you've been there
And there was where I always
Wanted to be but wasn't
As if want knows what I need but need doesn't
Need never knew you
The way I'm still not sure I do
Guess I'm still learning
Still concerning myself with the
Things I don't know i don't know
Don't know if you're breath is the
Wind and I'm just the kite
I don't know if you need me, but if you do
I'll be home tonight
Veil is thin between the chambers
Of my heart, and your heart
Lines are blurred, the ones
That tell the shape, of my heart
From your heart veil is thin
This design
Clouds are thick upon the mountain tops
Tonight
I'll be home tonight
Despite the road throwing rocks
At my bedroom window
And begging me to keep it company
The road and me
We are lonely even when together but, you
Whether I've spent one month away
From you or one minute
Love doesn't understand distance
Because even when you're away from it
You're still in it
And though I'm not sure how
I know now everyone red light secretly
Wishes it were a green light
And I'm wishing those wishes get granted so
That they'll speed me home tonight
Veil is thin between the chambers
Of my dreaming, and the morning
Lines are blurred, the ones
That tell the shape, of my being
From the blankness of night tonight
I will wake in the morning with
The road tugging at my restlessness
And regardless of this, I will
Reminisce only of last night
When you closed my eyes
And touch became sight
My hands moving slowly over you as
If I couldn't stop staring
Our arms around us as if we
Were wearing each other to bed
And in the morning
The sunlight bled through the blinds only
To remind us we have eyes
We kept them closed not to fend off the day
Or keep out the light
But just to remind us of what
Last night will look like tonight
It might be more accurate to say that
I've been here while you've been there
And there was where I always
Wanted to be but wasn't
As if want knows what I need but need doesn't
Need never knew you
The way I'm still not sure I do
Guess I'm still learning
Still concerning myself with the
Things I don't know i don't know
Don't know if you're breath is the
Wind and I'm just the kite
I don't know if you need me, but if you do
I'll be home tonight
Veil is thin between the chambers
Of my heart, and your heart
Lines are blurred, the ones
That tell the shape, of my heart
From your heart veil is thin
This design
Clouds are thick upon the mountain tops
Tonight
I'll be home tonight
Despite the road throwing rocks
At my bedroom window
And begging me to keep it company
The road and me
We are lonely even when together but, you
Whether I've spent one month away
From you or one minute
Love doesn't understand distance
Because even when you're away from it
You're still in it
And though I'm not sure how
I know now everyone red light secretly
Wishes it were a green light
And I'm wishing those wishes get granted so
That they'll speed me home tonight
Veil is thin between the chambers
Of my dreaming, and the morning
Lines are blurred, the ones
That tell the shape, of my being
From the blankness of night tonight
I will wake in the morning with
The road tugging at my restlessness
And regardless of this, I will
Reminisce only of last night
When you closed my eyes
And touch became sight
My hands moving slowly over you as
If I couldn't stop staring
Our arms around us as if we
Were wearing each other to bed
And in the morning
The sunlight bled through the blinds only
To remind us we have eyes
We kept them closed not to fend off the day
Or keep out the light
But just to remind us of what
Last night will look like tonight
