Endless Verses

(hmmm, yeah) I wrote these lines upon the dusty pane

Watching the steady patterns of the rain

Each syllable a weight I carried slow

And secrets only empty hallways know

We painted pictures on the wooden floor Before we chose to walk

out of the door

And all the words we left behind

Are tangled up inside my mind (oh-oh-oh)

So here is the anthem for the quiet night

We are searching for a softer light

Singing the verses we forgot to say

Chasing the memory of yesterday (yesterday)

I count the pages that I haven't read

Replaying everything you ever said

The ink is fading but the meaning stays

Across the distance of these lonely days

We built a kingdom out of paper walls

Now listening as the quiet shadow falls

So here is the anthem for the quiet night

We are searching for a softer light

Singing the verses we forgot to say

Chasing the memory of yesterday (yesterday)

We keep on writing even in the dark

Waiting for a single tiny spark

Every sentence is a road back home

To prove that we are never quite alone

Just a few more lines to say goodbye

Underneath the open sky (hmmm,

sleep well)
