lover of the light

In the middle of the night I may watch you go.
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown.
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown.
But I'd be yours if you'll be mine.

Stretch out my life and pick the seams out.
Take what you like but close my ears and eyes.
Watch me stumble over and over.

I had done wrong, so build your tower.
But call me home and I will build a throne.
And wash my eyes out never again.

But love the one you hold and I'll be your goal.
To have and to hold a lover of the light.

Skin too tight and eyes like marbles.
You spin me high so watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward, homeward.

I know I've tried, I was not stable.
And flawed by pride, I miss my sanguine eyes.
So hold my hands up... Breathe in, and breathe out.

And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go.
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown.
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown.
You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show,
But I'd be yours if you'd be mine.

So love the one you hold and I will be your goal.
To have and to hold a lover of the light.
