there's never anyone for miles
when my mind starts to wander towards nowhere
you probably know by now, stranger
i'm thinking of where exactly you could be at this very moment
god knows i'm so stuck
stuck on all the impossibilities
and i'm fighting to make things right again
with you and everything between
to win a bit of clarity amongst this confusing mess of a life
and i'm growing tired of losing
oh, the hot red emotion that flows within me
rockets through my veins
at the thought of you finally appearing before me
the feeling makes my eyes so heavy
as i contemplate leaving the lights on (for someone...anyone)

slipping in and out of consciousness
each moment of slumber a story
the saddest of dreams never ending with you by my side
nodding off on the most comfortable floor in the world
a place to lay our weary heads
i wish i could say i deserved any better
i wish i could say i deserved any less

drowning me in an ocean of a feeling i've wanted for so long
my gratitude is never ending
to my intermittent slumber
fingers that put pen to paper
sending off letters to anyone
whose heart is desperately grasping for something
anything
only to draw in the freezing, vexing wind that fills your warm vacant arms
i wish i were the wind
i wish i was your wind.

I want life in every word, to the extent that it's absurd.- The Postal Service
