Dark Sky Lyrics

I think it was the fire

It made your smile wink in my direction

I could have lit the fuse of my heart

Sent it skywards, no hesitation

I could have let the night change me

From a saint to a sinner

I talk a big talk and walk a long walk

To not look like such a beginner

At seeing signs and reading minds

At knowing what to do

When I think, Damn, this person's fine

I could have told you, Hey

You look great today

But I saw you stop your face from lighting up

When you looked my way

Sometimes that's just how it goes

You're victim to the ebbs and flows

Not knowing the boundaries

Of learning about you and me

Sometimes the fireworks don't fly

So our imaginations paint them in the dark sky

I think it was my red skirt

Or the tight shirt that made you look so nervous

Or the deep talks where we found out

We're both recovering addicts of feeling worthless

You could have let the night change you

From a stranger to a lover

You had your hand there

And I was unaware

That you might be good at everything other than

Seeing signs and reading minds

At knowing what to do

When you think, Damn, this person's fine

You could have told me, Hey

You look great today

But you saw me stop my face from lighting up

When I looked your way

Sometimes that's just how it goes

You're victim to the ebbs and flows

Not knowing the boundaries

Of learning about you and me

Sometimes the fireworks don't fly

So our imaginations paint them in the dark sky

We could have made constellations

From earth-shattering, wild sensations

That everyone feels from time to time

We could have been a masterpiece

A magnum opus, or art at least

If I had taken the chance to make you mine

But sometimes that's just how it goes

You're victim to the ebbs and flows

Not knowing the boundaries

Of learning about you and me

Sometimes the fireworks don't fly

So our imaginations paint them in the dark sky

There's so much wonder in this dark sky

It's a beautiful, magnificent dark sky
