Mystery

Each time you'd pull down the driveway
Wasn't sure when I would see you again
Yours was a twisted blind sided highway
No matter which road you took then

Oh you set up your place in my thoughts
Moved in and made my thinking crowded
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
My heart the red sun
Your heart the moon clouded

I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
And the voices are heard, nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
Maybe an equal
Mystery

So what is love then?
Is it dictated or chosen?
Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years
Or is it just a pop emotion?
If it ever was there and it left
Does it mean it was never true?
How to exist it must elude
Is that why I think these things of you
And you like the taste of danger
It shines like sugar upon your lips
You like to stand in the line of fire
Just show you can shoot straight from the hip

There must be one thousand things to die for
I can hardly think of two
But tell me why is everything better when I'm talking with you

I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
The voices are heard and nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
May be an equal
Mystery

Pirate gets a girl and the ship tonight
Breaks a bottle to christen her
Basking in the exploits of her thief
She's a very good listener
Maybe that's all that we need
Is to meet in the middle of impossibility
Standing at opposite poles
Equal partners in a mystery

I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
The voices are heard and nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
May be an equal
