The Color and the Light

When I asked you the way

Out of here

You told me that nothing you could say

Would make me disappear

And I guess I knew that you were right

So we had a drink and then a fight

Lasted the better part of the night

I told you I wanted to be like

The color and the light

Filling up everything with

The brightest kind of bright

You just smiled at me

The way you do

When you don't want to break

My heart in two

And I keep looking back to you

We take three steps forward

Then a couple back

Still be ahead of the game

If not quite on track

Color fades and light does burn

But you will always be my friend

Until the bitter end
