I imagine you walking around in your apartment, 

kissing that self-portrait I painted and sent to you

I imagine you changing your mind after swallowing

the last thing you tasted before the big sleep got you

and it cuts me in two



And I often wonder if maybe you found the light, 

that divine, comforting light they spend so much time

on trying to find

you're like Jodie Foster taking off but nobody sees it

it takes the sound of an earthquake to even believe it



And they say "Hold on, after rain comes sun"

I think today, it's the other way around

every window holds a tiny light

take a look around, see what you might find...



Well, they're putting out flags tonight to celebrate the dead

but I'd rather do something to turn back time instead

a little late to say something, I know

but what the hell am I supposed to do

when I just want to sit you down in my kitchen

and you'd tell me what it was

'cos the last time we met, 

it was like the whole world was exploding

riding elevators through that endless red brick building

on a day so pretty you'd think we were all only joking

putting on a show that would give us an Oscar



They say "Hold on, after rain comes sun"

I think today, it's the other way around

every window holds a tiny light

take a look around, see what you might find...
