the way it was

Call me up at midnight, I'll meet you at the payphone
You keep your secrets inside and I'm the only one who knows
As I look out the skylight, your words they hold me close
You were never too late, though the dark it rattles up my bones

Dance before the lights go out
Before they turn on any sound
Dance before your feet hit the ground
We live in the space between your head
With conversations left unsaid
'Cause it's better to just play pretend
So dance before you miss me again

Tell me do the bright lights still make your heart stop cold
Or have you lifted your sentence from the prison that you own
Let me look in your eyes, give you something to hold
You'll see me in the night, but only when your eyes are closed

And we'll dance before the lights go out
Before they turn on any sound
Dance before your feet hit the ground
We live in the space between your head
With conversations left unsaid
'Cause it's better to just play pretend
So dance before you miss me again

Take me back to the way it was

Call me up at midnight, I'll meet you at the payphone
I wish time was on our side and that I wasn't just your ghost
Please don't wait up dear, I don't know if I'll be home
But as the memories fade, I hope you know you're not alone
