Where's the joy that lights your world
The magic word that brings you home
Spells for the earthquakes in your heart
The chills that never leave your bones

Fear's the chain I drag around
Can't even look it in the eye
When we turn a turn too close
There's nothing that I need to hide

Keys inside the glove compartment
Christmas trees outside your old apartment
Your laugh's a silver bell that's clear & true
It takes all I have to keep my thoughts from running away with you

When everything love taught me was a lie
You'd think that I'd know better
But hope's the string that hangs around
Like price tags on a sky blue sweater

Confessions that begin to fall like
Blood-red leaves outside your old apartment
You shine like string lights draped under the moon
It takes all I have to keep my heart from running away with you

Your face burns warm blood in the cold
The breath we share is visible
Light as a fistful of aurora
All of mine for all of yours
The hair that waves over your eye
The closest I'll get to goodbye
I'm better off in emptiness
I'm free when I can't find myself
A hell that blows beneath my wings
A heaven lifted in your hands
There's a song I heard you sing
With a grace I never had
Unknown stars, heartbreaker nights
Disappointment under glass
A two-step under Two Street lights
Sometimes the detour is the path
