Room Goes Dark

I've come here today
All the way from any place you dream
When you fall away again
Make it soft underfoot, form the trust
And when you paint this place make it safe for an old friend
I saw the boy that I once was
But i'm sure he didn't know me
He carried a box of broken matchsticks
And he sure as hell didn't know you
All the lines in your face
Miles away from the cardboard stars and the ink maps that you send
Bring me ache for your heat for your heart
And how the room goes dark when you walk out again
I came by here around a year back
And im sure then there was nothing
I carry a blank borrowed scrapbook
And I sure as hell didn't know you then
If the rain in my hands like a crime
That the world sees through no matter how i share it out
Where the backstreet glows
Where i go and test the strength i have
With your bark around my bones
Like a tree run through me
I'll take on scratches with your leefless love
But it's always worth the pain
I stay quiet overnight to speak my mind
Cause pouring thoughts around you is like spitting in the rain
I saw the boy that i once was
And im sure he didn't know me
He carried a bag of broken toys
And he sure as hell didn't know you well
