vanilla twilight.

the stars lean down to kiss you
and i lie awake and miss you
pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
cause i'll doze off safe and soundly
but i'll miss your arms around me
i'd send a post card to you dear
cause i wish you were here.

i'll watch the night turn light blue
but it's not the same without you
because it takes two to whisper quietly.
the silence isn't so bad
'til i look at my hands and feel sad
cause the spaces between my fingers
are right where your's fit perfectly.

i'll find repose in new ways
though i haven't slept in two days
cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
but drenched in vanilla twilight
i'll sit on the front porch all night,
waist-deep in thought
because when i think of you
i don't feel so alone
i don't feel so alone
i don't feel so alone

as many times as i blink
i'll think of you tonight
i'll think of you tonight

when violet eyes get brighter
and heavy wings grow lighter
i'll taste the sky and feel alive again
and i'll forget the world that i knew
but i swear i won't forget you
oh, if my voice could reach back through the past
i'd whisper in your ear,
"oh, darling i wish you were here"
