Midnight Callin'

I never thought I'd be here
Still taking my time
Still caught in a web of plans
Of dreams, of wishes of mine

Do you remember
The stories you'd tell?
Of where we would be in years to come
As the cool breeze fell
Across my face
I'd listen to the old trees shake
As the wind came through
And you laughed at me when I told you what they said
"You were meant to be the biggest of them all
Even the sun next to you would seem small"

Now everything's on fire
Please open the door!
Everything you left behind
Has melted through the floor
But I still remember
The day you moved on
Caught up in the wind that took your breath
And made you strong
It's been five years since I've seen you
It didn't seem like it was the end
I used to keep a picture of you on a wall inside my head
So I wouldn't waste the chance of seeing you again
When I burnt the bridge
I burnt myself instead

Midnight, midnight callin'
And if you hear this on the radio
And it makes your heart sink down and you reach for your phone
Oh
I ain't never been afraid before
Is what I used to think then
But that couldn't have been more untrue

It's what the sign said
So many years before
On my own it was you I was waiting for
I guess the sign burnt too...

I never thought I'd be here
Same place as before
The place we knew well when we were young is ours no more
And as I lay here drowning in song
The wind that once blew about my back has been long gone
You've crossed the plains and sailed the seas
And seen the lights in every big city
And you'll never miss the fire that we set

"We were meant to be the biggest of them all
Even the sun next to us would seem small"
