Your faceless person sits in the shadows of the bar
I can feel your gaze on me but can't see you you're too far
Dancing with my demons, you hold the key to my heart
Darling, I think my fantasies of you took the liberty of a headstart
Dangling the keys to my future to me like a beacon, you're a bastard
Evasion seems to be the art you have perfectly mastered
Come to me soon, I am waiting for you
Up on my balcony under skies oh-so-blue
But you already know that, don't you?
Stop teasing like only you seem to be able to
You madden me, the way you haunt
There in every movie and every good song
Every book I read, I somehow find you in it
Lounging in the web of the words of a book you're not permitted in
Laughs echo down the hall, I read the notes you leave
Tantalizing me with stolen kisses claimed in the breeze
There in my bed every night, aren't you?
Cuddling me warm, but never staying the night through
You've got me lovelorn baby and I don't even know you yet
You're at every corner I turn, burning in every cigarette
Stretching my patience so thin, I think will admit
Sometimes I want to burn the world down just to find where you are in it
And I swear when I get a hold of you, I won't let you go
Been too lonely all my life, you're the other half of my soul
Is wishing you were here with me against all odds a sin
When I feel the need for you burning, humming right under my skin?
I want you so bad, it scares me sometimes
What if my dreams of us are the prime of you and I?
What if it's all in my head, and you don't even exist?
Or if you do, you're my destination and I'm a stop in your road that you miss?
And what if I find you and it's not what I think?
And I end up dying suffocated by my fantasies succinct
Will you love me, darling, like I think that you will?
Or will I end up drowning in the waters of the phantoms that you will kill?
