Fantasies in the Dark

You walk in and the whole room burns;

Love so loud it never really ends;

We talk in circles, sparks in the air;

Say we're fine, but the silence says we're scared;

Your kiss still hits like a midnight spark;

But your temper leaves a bruise on my heart;

I hold you close and we fall apart;

Still I come back to where you are;

And I hate how much

I need your fire;

Even when it burns me right through desire;

We get too close, then we pull away;

Caught between the truth and what we say;

Got me lost in the heat of us;

Even when the love signs are up;

When we touch, it feels like trust;

But your magic's soft and it cuts me up;

If I'm the one;

You want tonight, then why do

I see that?

Look in your eyes,

I give you my body, give you my soul;

But I can't compete with the ghost you hold;

Late night sheets and the neon blue glow;

Your hands on me;

But your thought moves slow;

I feel the distance in the way you breathe;

Like there's somebody else in the room with me;

We make up in the sweetest ways;

Then we break down in a blur of grace;

You say, don't leave me;

And I say, don't lie;

But both of us know we're running out of time;

And I hate how much

I need your fire;

Even when it burns me right through desire;

We get too close, then we pull away;

Part between the truth;

And what we say;

You got me lost in the heat of us;

Even the love turns to rust;

When we touch it feels like trust;

But your wine drips off;

And it cuts me off;

If I'm the one you want tonight;

Then why do

I see that look in your eyes?

I give you my body;

But I can't compete with the ghost you hold;

Tell me, am I just a pretty distraction?

Body in the dark, a brief reaction;

If you hardly see the things that

I see;

And stay in the light;

Don't bring another name to our bed tonight;

I want your truth, not a perfect lie;

Because broken love still wants to shine;

Got little hearts in the heat of us;

And when the love turns red;

When we touch it feels like;

And it cuts me up;

Find the one you want tonight;

And why do

I see that look in your eyes?

I'd give you my body, give you my soul;

But I can't compete with the ghost you hold;
