Call Ahead

Rising up breathing deeply you dream
Emotions hovering like some apparition
Between the familiar and unknown

Places unlock that you couldn't find
Standing at the door you're either bright eyed or balling
Is something on the other end?
Is there someone to call ahead?

Racing away with only darkness behind
You're catching glimpses with the headlights on
Memory fades another moment to find
A fleeting thought before it's already gone

Visiting places buried in time
You know your heart well, your spirit has drifted
Floating like some ferry lost in a fog

Your eyes hunting as you're making the turns
Now that something inside you certainly shifted
The voices make your memories burn
But you know love always returns

Racing away with only darkness behind
You're catching glimpses with the headlights on
Memory fades another moment to find
A fleeting thought before it's already gone

And now you're left with the ghost in you
And you're laughing 'cause you know all the words
And all the tears that you're driving through
Sure as the sun in your eyes
Love always returns

All the fallen memories escape
Let all the fallen memories escape

Racing away from the dark
Thoughts caught in the headlights
All your memories stray
Unfamiliar ranges
You glimpsed but found them gone

And now you're left with the ghost in you
And you're laughing 'cause you still know the words
And all the tears that you're driving through
Sure as the sun in your eyes
Love always returns

Call ahead... call ahead
Call ahead... call ahead
