lyrics

let me try it this way
tonight
step out and lock the door while
amber streetlights look on
headlights awake
in the dark night a small car pulls away
into the grey
I’m tired of the distance
I wanna make it real
I wanna come home
I wanna make it real with you
mystery no more
by the time the sun rises
I’ll be somewhere in Michigan
dogs bark in backyards
while coffee trickles in the pot
pink sky
I’ll be flying by
on the interstate
following signs
the sun
I’m gonna make it real
I’m gonna come home
I’m gonna make it real with you
mystery no more
mystery no more
mystery
I pity the sky
for it has chosen to marry the wind
a metaphor circling in
what was supposed to be
a body at birth
but what is now caught in a dream
the smile within
the glow is real
the love I’m feeling like never before
for which I’ve longed
is just a drive, an overnight
into the arms, no fight or flight
let me try it this way tonight
