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)
