In The Darkness

I guess I oughta tell you what's been going on

Well I've been chasing dreams for everyone but me.

When your heart is filled with misery

It's hard to find the energy

To remember just how much she means to me.

Well I keep everything inside so long till it burns

Everybody stokes the fire and the walls get a little higher.

I light the candle at both ends

And I hit the gas, the wheels start to spin

But she's always there to catch me when I fall.

'Cause I've been hell on wheels for days now

There ain't a shade of red I can't paint

When the lights go down, she always helps me see.

In the darkness a day will come

Another light for you to lean upon

But until then maybe your heart

Can rest in mine.

I just can't get the hang of hanging on

Every time I try to grab it, the will is gone.

When she looks into my eyes

She sees a man she used to recognize

And not the stranger trying to go it all alone.

Maybe someday I'll see exactly what she sees in me.

Maybe someday I'll be exactly who she wants me to be.

Maybe someday I'll have the strength to run into the man that I once was

But right now I think I'll walk into a crawl.

'Cause I've been hell on wheels for days now

There ain't a shade of red I can't paint

When the lights go down, she always helps me see.

In the darkness a day will come

Another light for you to lean upon

But until then maybe your heart

Can rest in mine.
