The only time I ever heard the voice of God Was in the silence of the night in the arms of the one I love Staring at the ceiling up above Like it contained the secrets of the stars
Any time I ever woke up in a dream I saw my shadow there staring back at me Moving through the walls and wondering As all the world rose up inside of me
And I long to hear the melody That one time played inside my mind And to love another helplessly So breathing feels like putting out a fire
Any time my life flashes in front of me I see a child there as if on a screen Standing in the shadows flickering For a moment I know what it means
All this time I lived inside a memory Daylight creeping in through a crack in the weathered seams Severing the ties and trembling Losing all the voices in the wind
And I long to hear the melodies That one time played inside my mind And to love another helplessly So breathing feels like putting out a fire
