| you survived another winter.
|
| you survived where nothing grew.
|
| the days felt cold and never changing,
|
| so you just slept the whole way through.
|
| when you think about the future,
|
| its like the past, but hard and small.
|
| an old idea you stole from someone.
|
| a borrowed dream thats born to fall.
|
| take a taxi through the snow
|
| tell them you love them,
|
| dont let go.
|
| through the tunnel moving slow,
|
| tonights theres nowhere
|
| you wont go.
|
| you survived yourself.
|
| you survived inside the lost world.
|
| the dreams of love repeat.
|
| subways sing with heated calls
|
| the g-string sirens walking tall.
|
| summer fires turn winter dreams.
|
| an old romantics hotshot schemes.
|
| you survived yourself.
|
| you survived inside the lost world.
|
| the ghosts of harm retreat.
|
| sweet surrender to the night.
|
| sweet surrender to the light.
|
| the dreams of love repeat.
|
| wherever there is light
|
| jane passes through the crowds
|
| outside the mercury lounge.
|
| she loves the city sounds.
|
| she feels that she’s been found.
|
| wherever there is light,
|
| she follows.
|
| the bats are out again,
|
| kids shout in Summer rain —
|
| for real, imagined, shame,
|
| for things they cannot name.
|
| she thinks of all their bright
|
| tomorrows.
|
| wherever there is light,
|
| she follows.
|
| walk in and out of rooms.
|
| fall in and out of love. |
