Connected

If I talk, only the raw coarseness of my words would get through
And not what really I should have tried to hide, but it's hard to keep inside
The thoughts and feelings you've held for so long, and now you feel they belong
They have a place and a time when night can be day and you can be mine
And then I'll let go and let my heart fly to you

But still I know that I'll take my chances and wait for the moment
Which grows ever further away, and the closeness and what once was
I find it hard to replace, but still I know that when I look out
Just understanding that I could reminisce fills my eyes with fever
A heat which burns me so deeply, that it can't be seen
By anyone looking in the right direction

So if I could I'd force you to walk on this line, the tension
So great since you had walked away, leaving me neither here nor there
Walking on the tightrope, waiting to fall
Knowing nothing can ever be underneath, nor above
Since you lifted me up and I saw from a different light
The clouds and the sun, and all I had ever known of love
Had vanished in a single second
What I thought could never end,
But the wind rises and takes flight, like I
So never remaining and never gaining anything
But just from time to time
I sing a smile and hope that as I move
My unspoken words would fly a few miles
And I could prove
That my constant hurt had been worthwhile.
