Bright Places
Chasing Shadows: Embracing Loss and Longing
Lyrics
I saw you, reading a book
I observed you engrossed in reading a book
On the porch
You were on the porch
I saw you, walking down
I noticed you strolling along
The shore
By the shore
I see you, but you ain't here
I perceive your presence, but you're no longer physically here
No more
You've departed
Runaway moon, I'll wait you here at dawn
The moon has run away; I'll wait for its return at dawn
I lit a fire in this cold night
In this cold night, I kindled a fire
To make this old house burn
To make this old house ablaze
To the ground
To the point of destruction
To bury my demons, some holy ghosts, to turn to ashes everything I loved
To bury my inner struggles, some sacred apparitions, and transform everything I cherished into ashes
Say a word, you know I wanna Believe
Speak a word; I yearn to believe
Give me a sign, please tell me You're real
Show me a sign; convince me of your reality
I know you, creature of
I recognize you, a creature from my dreams
My dreams
You are familiar to me
You know me, I wish you
You know me; I desire your physical presence
Were here
I wish you were here with me
I lit a fire in this cold night
Again, in this cold night, I ignited a fire
To make this ol house burn
To engulf this old house in flames
To the ground
Until it collapses
To bury my demons, some holy Ghosts, to turn to ashes Everything I loved
To bury my internal struggles, some divine apparitions, and transform everything I held dear into ashes
I'm staring at this empty chair
I'm gazing at an empty chair
Silence, speak so loud
Silence is so profound, it resonates loudly
I can't Control my shaking hands Prisoner in this old hause, oh
I can't control my trembling hands; I feel like a captive in this old house
I waited for you, I waited
I waited for you; I anticipated your arrival
For you
I waited for you
I lit a fire in this cold nigh
Once more, in this cold night, I ignited a fire
To make this ol house burn
To set this old house ablaze
To the ground
To the point of destruction
To bury my demons, some holy
To bury my internal struggles, some divine apparitions
Ghosts, to turn to ashes
And transform everything I cherished into ashes
Everything I loved
All that I loved has turned into ashes
