Buckner Richard - Rafters lyrics

now that i know what i'd hoped had to be in mind was true and refused (and just in time), do you wonder why? it seems i let up with the dents of a near-collision. i couldn't call, and wrecked and turned up missing. but, until then, i'm cutting to the end: it's cold in the light (the one we never seemed to find). i opened the door instead, but, you knew the lock (and the way i was looking) and still not a thing was said. i guess i can show that i thought i'd never have you long. it's a wall that you feel, but you're already slipping and away you slide. can you take the ride? what did it mean when we stood with our building, slanted: high, and we spoke of harder times? i pulled the rafters down, but the ghosts were only dropping and since that night...
