Lyrics

Hey, I (lyrics by Nathan Walter and Jimmie Myers)

If you want to go,
I won't make you stay.
I just want you to know,
That I will still be there.

As the sun goes down,
In an unfamiliar place.
I will keep the light shining,
When you lose the way.

I am by your side, though you're far way.
Just close your eyes, and talk to me.

Hey, I will set your plate.
Hey, I will sleep by the door,
To be the one who welcomes you home.
To be the one...

Has the arrow been spent?
Have the words been spoken?
Has the opportunity passed you by?
Will you not return?

I fled you down frozen banquet halls,
Through liars and slanted light,
And upon my tongue were pleasantries and spite.

I fled you down darkened alleyways,
Through smothered fires of windowpanes,
And despite the light, my shadow's length remained.
