Like a turning head, like a second look
Like a burning leaf of an open book
Like a pounding sea, like a massive climb
When your eyes first met with mine

Like a broken word, like a tragice smile
Like a thousand steps or a single mile
Like a lonely chance, like a savage glow
When you turned and said hello

I was just about to go
There were flowers on the ceiling
You left me feeling

Like a fading voice, like a closing door
Like a dozen lies and a dozen more
Like a twisted tongue, like a distant bark
When we broke out into the night

Stars looked like burning sparks
The lights were on but chilling
You left me feeling

Tired, I could not close my eyes
On fire, but frozen inside
To run or to hide

Speechless, my words could not melt
Whispered I wanted to shout
Without you I felt

Like a fleeting thought, like a double life
Like a gentle feel of a warming taste
Like a passive breath, like a cooling blow
When you stopped and held me close

Inside I nearly froze
Your touch is almost healing
You left me feeling

Tired, I could not close my eyes
On fire, but frozen inside
To run or to hide

Speechless, my words would not melt
Whispered I wanted to shout
Without you I felt

Like a setting sun, like a lost goodbye
Like an incomplete lullaby
