"Live, I want to live inspired. Die, I want to die for something higher than myself. Live and die for anyone else. The more I live I see this life's not about me."
The city lights shine bright
With the eager anticipation of youth
Spilling hope that falls to pieces
Against the hardness of the world
A million miles above, the world seems so far
Reality hits hard when you only know how to fall
A familiar smile picks you up and rights the wrongs but
The pull on your heartstrings reminds you of
Things that never were and may never be
For a moment you allow yourself to fold into the shadows
To do what you shouldn't and breathe him in
In a dizzying stagger back into the light
You tell yourself never again will you think of this
Until you stand beneath the starless night sky
Remembering that the city lights shine bright
With the eager anticipation of youth
Spilling hope that falls to pieces
Against the hardness of the world
With the eager anticipation of youth
Spilling hope that falls to pieces
Against the hardness of the world
A million miles above, the world seems so far
Reality hits hard when you only know how to fall
A familiar smile picks you up and rights the wrongs but
The pull on your heartstrings reminds you of
Things that never were and may never be
For a moment you allow yourself to fold into the shadows
To do what you shouldn't and breathe him in
In a dizzying stagger back into the light
You tell yourself never again will you think of this
Until you stand beneath the starless night sky
Remembering that the city lights shine bright
With the eager anticipation of youth
Spilling hope that falls to pieces
Against the hardness of the world
The blisters on my feet remind me where I've been and
The scars covering my hands remind me what I've done but
In this midnight rain I will dance and I will sing
The raindrops fuse with the tears on my skin like
Watery memoirs of hope and happiness and
The new life that springs up from my darkest days
A phoenix rising from the ashes with wings of victory
Thoughts roll through my mind like the storm across the sky, but none of this is as beautiful as you. Your smile lights up a room like a flash of dazzling lightning. Each raindrop lands as a tender kiss falling from your sweet lips. And in the rolling, booming thunder I hear every laugh we've ever shared. The growth that springs eternal from this summer rain is but a fraction of the love that we discover every day.
