Held In the Arms of Your Words

This light at the end of the day When even the highways seem still The map in my hands folded shut There isn't one magical word But a carnival of them instead Like an old, silent cinema screen And in this light you are framed classically Just a painting that hangs in my head That I know like the back of my hand And with the sunset, the neon awakes And the cold colors dance on your skin And finally the modern makes sense to me You're effortless, you know you are And all I want to do Is let you lead me off into the dusk Our shadows kiss before we do Right here in the dark I revel in the calm before the storm The garden is haunted by us And every mistake that we've made Is at peace 'cause it led us both here A thought that just burns into me Of you in the ink of the night Is the breathtaking danger of you You're effortless, you know you are And all I want to do Is let you lead me off into the dusk Our shadows kiss before we do Right here in the dark I revel in the calm before the storm This is life This is all I want from life It's the fervor and the tenderness combined In the dark, in the ever-falling dark We are anchorless adrift but barely notice (You're effortless, you know you are) (And all I want to do) (Is let you lead me off into the dusk) (Our shadows kiss before we do) (Right here in the dark) (I revel in the calm before the storm) (You're effortless, you know you are) (And all I want to do) (Is let you lead me off into the dusk) (Our shadows kiss before we do) (Right here in the dark) (I revel in the calm before the storm) (You're effortless, you know you are) (And all I want to do) (Is let you lead me off into the dusk)
