Dark Desert Images by Shallow Alcove Lyrics
[VERSE]
She ran away
To a home that she made in the desert
City light girl ruled my whole world
But she’ll never know
Patiently, she sings alone
Drive through the night
To see the sunrise over her
Twenty one years
Lost without a sound
Lost within you
[PRE-Chorus]
I’ve seen the pain
I’ve seen how you say it’s all the same
And you told me you were too drunk night after night
It hurts to say I️ just don’t feel the same
I feel so strange
[Chorus]
Empty streets
Can’t fill the hole in your heart
Get you home tonight
[VERSE]
He always stayed close to what he knew
Shined in the night
Burned like a sun-blinded mirror
I never played his game
And quietly whispered
Jade through the days
Just to meet again in December
Years and years
Held your breath
Missed your chance
[PRE-Chorus]
I’ve seen your ways
I’ve seen how you say things can never change
And told me I was too much
Darkening days, years go by you think I’m the one to blame
I knew everything
[Chorus]
Empty streets
Can’t fill the hole in your heart
Get you home tonight
It’s like what we’ve said
It’s like what we do
[OUTRO]
For every time you say goodbye
And every last cigarette
They could break me down
You will break me down
She ran away
To a home that she made in the desert
City light girl ruled my whole world
But she’ll never know
Patiently, she sings alone
Drive through the night
To see the sunrise over her
Twenty one years
Lost without a sound
Lost within you
[PRE-Chorus]
I’ve seen the pain
I’ve seen how you say it’s all the same
And you told me you were too drunk night after night
It hurts to say I️ just don’t feel the same
I feel so strange
[Chorus]
Empty streets
Can’t fill the hole in your heart
Get you home tonight
[VERSE]
He always stayed close to what he knew
Shined in the night
Burned like a sun-blinded mirror
I never played his game
And quietly whispered
Jade through the days
Just to meet again in December
Years and years
Held your breath
Missed your chance
[PRE-Chorus]
I’ve seen your ways
I’ve seen how you say things can never change
And told me I was too much
Darkening days, years go by you think I’m the one to blame
I knew everything
[Chorus]
Empty streets
Can’t fill the hole in your heart
Get you home tonight
It’s like what we’ve said
It’s like what we do
[OUTRO]
For every time you say goodbye
And every last cigarette
They could break me down
You will break me down
