Now the man is on fire There's d**h in the kitchen And I'm sure he won't turn off the lights tonight 'Cause he needs them to see He needs to prove that he can believe That on these maps and charts his hard works met her heart But the lines grow askewed Like the color of any argument And tonight the silent host is his decay Though he knows where she is She knows exactly where he is The separation hangs like suicide But be sure that there's an answer coming one of these nights Just take a deep breath and close your eyes for a while Let the strong spring breeze take your temperature down While you stretch your broken body out
Let the silences of mercy keep a song in your ear Keep your promise about pity sixty minutes of tears And so you don't lose hope, I'll lose an hour of sleep Every night just in case you call Tonight a woman reflects On her decisions and comforts And if she knows how far halfway is after all And still she won't turn out the lights And she waits until morning How long until the answers make their demands And demand, they will And in her soul, she knows this She knows we all have to testify sometimes If some other white hot lights To waltz on to crimes Some just approve that the truth was in them all this time
