Vanilla Twilight
Share this song
Verse 1
The stars lean down to kiss youAnd I lie awake and miss youPour me a heavy dose of atmosphere'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundlyBut I'll miss your arms around meI'd send a postcard to you, dear'Cause I wish you were hereVerse 2
I'll watch the night turn light blueBut it's not the same without youBecause it takes two to whisper quietlyThe silence isn't so bad'Til I look at my hands and feel sad'Cause the spaces between my fingersAre right where yours fit perfectlyI'll find repose in new waysThough I haven't slept in two days'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the boneBut drenched in vanilla twilightI'll sit on the front porch all nightWaist-deep in thought because when I think of youI don't feel so aloneBridge
I don't feel so aloneI don't feel so aloneAs many times as I blink, I'll think of youTonight (Tonight, tonight, tonight)I'll think of you tonightVerse 3
When violet eyes get brighterAnd heavy wings grow lighterI'll taste the sky and feel alive againAnd I'll forget the world that I knewBut I swear I won't forget youOh, if my voice could reach back through the pastI'd whisper in your ear"Oh darling, I wish you were here"What the song means
