Vanilla Twilight

[Verse 1] The stars lean down to kiss you And I lie awake and miss you Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere Because I'll doze off safe and soundly But I'll miss your arms around me I'd send a postcard to you, dear Because I wish you were here I'll watch the night turn light-blue But it's not the same without you Because it takes two to whisper quietly The silence isn't so bad 'Til I look at my hands and feel sad Cause the spaces between my fingers Are right where yours fit perfectly I'll find repose in new ways Though I haven't slept in two days Because cold nostalgia Chills me to the bone But drenched in vanilla twilight I'll sit on the front porch all night Waist-deep in thought because When I think of you I don't feel so alone I don't feel so alone [2x] As many times as I blink I'll think of you tonight [2x] When violet eyes get brighter And heavy wings grow lighter I'll taste the sky and feel alive again And I'll forget the world that I knew But I swear I won't forget you Oh, if my voice could reach Back through the past I'd whisper in your ear Oh darling, I wish you were here
