HOME BY MIDNIGHT


I cannot be any different
The dance and song of my heart
All I have I give away
This is always how it starts
No games to play
No script follow
You’ll know real soon
There’s nothing hollow
Here you go
Please take and see
Here’s my heart
Yes this is me
As I leave with this hole in my chest
And my heart goes out of sight
My only dream and only hope
Is to be home by midnight
I make this drive every time
And every night I bleed
Will someone ever do the same
And give their heart to me?
Letting go with no control
And giving her grace to choose
For what would love be in this life
If you had nothing at all to lose?
Some they threw it out to sea
And I swam it back to shore
Sewing together the pieces again
Knowing this heart was meant for more
So mine just keeps on beating
Carrying the scars of life
Through the world I keep on searching
For the one to be my wife
The thought of all that we could be
Is enough for me to show
This love I have inside of me
And I just want you to know
So I take that heart out once again
Scarred and torn to shreds
To give you all that I have left
Despite where it has tread
Will she take that heart of hers
And give it up to trade?
If I make it home by midnight
Maybe then we’ll have it made

Earth, Milky Way
