Moonlight bleeds to the suitcase by the door,
Packed full of promises we've broken before
Whispers of summer hang silent and low
Like the breath between words I don't want to know
55 stretches out like a wound in the earth
Your silence the song that tells me of my worth
But I hear it all around me down each fateful mile
Down highways without you, while I fake a smile.
Burning down bridges but God how we loved
Like whiskey and thunder, we're never enough
Tangled up, messy, like barbed wire and skin
Can't tell where your heart ends and my ache begins
The wind is your absence, your voice lost to me
Echoes of promise, of something set free
Memories dancing like leaves on the ground
Spinning and falling but making no sound
And I know every scar that we've carved in the night
The beautiful darkness, the terrible light
How we're drawn to each other like a storm to the plain
Like mercy and madness, like love and its pain
Some nights I think maybe we're storm clouds disguised
Two tornados spinning, lost in the skies
But I'd chase you down dirt roads, broken and wild
Like a prayer without mercy, like a motherless child.
