lyrics

The dazzling lights lit the night at Bennett Station,
and we stumbled home unaware the situation.
I couldn’t help but trace the tiny shadows,
flickering lights on your face, this small memento…

It always seems like that.
It always seems like that when you move.

I pressed your hand in hopes of some reaction,
a wink or nod or smile of satisfaction.
Flickering lights on your face hid what I won’t know.
We kissed goodnight as you left toward the shadows.

It always seems like that.
It always seems like that when you move.
It only seems that way.
It only seems that way when you move.

I sat down on the couch at Bennett Station:
butterflies and eyes, anticipation.
In hopes of what I had always dreamed of:
the hopes and promise of a simple embrace -
Love.
