lyrics

I see you in the city lights again, making faces at me from the fog.
Every shadowed alley understands your outline.
You're the opera, on the radio, voice rising like the skyscrapers all around.
Your hands are in the breeze, always dancing with me.

Will I ever see you again? Will you make it back to me alive? Will I ever see you again? Would it even hurt me to say good-bye?

I see you everywhere at night. You walk behind me on the bridge, and sneak up closer in the skyline.

Your voice is broken in my head, your words are always on repeat.
You're telling me to wait, a little more and you'll be back for me.
I wish I could stay, like this, and pray it doesn't take eternity.

I try to live alone 'cuz no one takes your place.
I try to breathe alone but I can't lose your taste.
I try to sleep alone but you keep me awake.
I try to dream alone, you call me to the grave.
You call me to the grave.
