Mourning Skies

Love by Definition

I know what love is
It's all because of you
You showed me what it means
To be so deeply in love with someone
They make you feel as if
They molded all the stars for you
In paper mâché and glue
And put them in the sky
Saying this is for you
My love

When I saw you
Every little anxious voice in my head
Felt like it was dead
It just went so deathly silent
I thought
What're they up to now
But no it was you
The sparkle in your eyes
The smooth sense of calm
Washing over me like a waterfall
Washing away the anxiety
Washing it away

And when our lips met for the first time
I'm pretty sure my heart stopped
How can someone make you
Feel so alive
So full of what you never thought was possible
That falling sensation
Everywhere in your nerves
I got addicted to you
You opened up new nerve endings
And the more I fell in love with you
The more I craved you
The slightest touch
Like a jolt of lighting in my veins

You made me feel love
You made the impossible possible
With you I could fly
With you I could do anything
I was never able to write music
But now I've written two albums
You're my god damn muse
You give me the strength to go on

And at my lowest points
Like tonight
As I write this for you
Unsure of the next time
Our lips will meet
Our paths will cross
I just need your skin on mine again
I need to feel
Everything's been so numb
The days are getting so fucking cold
There's a blizzard ahead
And a whiteout condition
Not just outside but in my head
Because you kept my head in the clouds
Now I'm back on earth
And it's as cold as I remember
A world without you

No drowsy late night phone calls
No winks across the room
No more blinking stars in your dark sky
Clouded now with my thoughts
