the lights at matchless glow
like lanterns in the night
i spend my evenings here
and at morning, walk outside
there's a light behind your eyes
that will never dim or fade
in the absence of the sun
you will shine and burn and blaze
all day.

brooklyn's waterways
remind me of a storyline
of something built beneath the waves
and forced to contend with the tide

let's swim out tonight

and ensure our fate is sealed
you'll be lana turner
and i'll be john garfield
pass the phone
pass the break
within night or the divide
we'll swim out on our own will
but return on borrowed time

there's a light behind your eyes
that will never dim or fade
in the absence of the sun
you will shine and burn and blaze
all day
all day
all day.
