ive been down this road before 

but tonight i cant stay between the lines

its whats under that skirt thats pushing us into the oncoming



& you were looking forward while i was looking backward 

im a victim of your time 

our eyes black as our hearts

& i was searching outward 

and you were hoping someone would compromise in time 

(but in this light they shine like a thousand candles lit in remembrance) 



flashing headlights and horns fill the night 

& all thats on my mind is getting you home 

but for all the wrong reasons 

or are they right? 

or are they right?



how strange is it that after we collide 

& bopnoes break through glass 

that we still hold these smiles 

we still hold these smiles 



for all the wrong reasons 



& you were looking forward while i was looking backward 

im a victim of your time 

our eyes black as our hearts

& i was searching outward 

and you were hoping someone would compromise in time 

(but in this light they shine like a thousand candles lit in remembrance) 



in remembrance



remember these words 

when you lose your touch 

you know what they say 

ill remember



its just the fact that all great poets will eventually kill themselves 

& sweetheart you should become a poet too.



& you were looking forward while i was looking backward 

im a victim of your time 

our eyes black as our hearts

& i was searching outward 

and you were hoping someone would compromise in time
