Loving you in Darkness

Hey,
Can you hear me calling out to you?
I’ve been loving you in darkness, hoping you feel it too.
The lady with the crystal ball said you’re lost…
and it’s my voice you chase.
I told her I’ve been searching for you,
but all I face is wall after wall.

I’ve searched for you in men who don’t know who I am.
They’ve torn me to pieces,
and I’m starting to think you don’t give a damn.
I’ve bruised my ego more than a handful of times,
and claimed the hearts of those who were never mine.

Can you hear me calling out to you?
You must feel this ache…
for someone across timelines you once knew.
I know we danced in the ‘40s.
I know we had a farm.
And that you used to kiss the beauty mark on my arm.

I went to Brooklyn and walked the cobblestone streets…
because that was our last memory.
You’re loud…
and I think you’re stuck in a different time.
But I don’t want to keep waiting for you to find me.

I’m drowning,
and I don’t think I’ll make it out alive.
I’m so scared I will die.
I need your hugs.
I need your safety.
Can you hear me screaming for you to save me?

Hurry up and find me,
because I think it’s getting too late.
A monster’s been watching me…
and I think I accidentally opened the gate.
I’m being cornered and I don’t know how to act.
Can you hear me screaming for you to come back?

Break the barriers of time and space for me.
Please…
I’m waiting for you to come back to me.
This isn’t funny anymore.
I’m in the quadrant of the universe… 
with the red door.

I’ll wait a little longer…
but I’m afraid we won’t make it out alive.
I can hear you faintly…
and I don’t want to say goodbye.

Again.

For those who listen between the lines.
