Midnight Callin'

I never thought I'd be here Still taking my time Still caught in a web of plans Of dreams, of wishes of mine Do you remember The stories you'd tell? Of where we would be in years to come As the cool breeze fell Across my face I'd listen to the old trees shake As the wind came through And you laughed at me when I told you what they said "You were meant to be the biggest of them all Even the sun next to you would seem small" Now everything's on fire Please open the door! Everything you left behind Has melted through the floor But I still remember The day you moved on Caught up in the wind that took your breath And made you strong It's been five years since I've seen you It didn't seem like it was the end I used to keep a picture of you on a wall inside my head So I wouldn't waste the chance of seeing you again When I burnt the bridge I burnt myself instead Midnight, midnight callin' And if you hear this on the radio And it makes your heart sink down and you reach for your phone Oh I ain't never been afraid before Is what I used to think then But that couldn't have been more untrue It's what the sign said So many years before On my own it was you I was waiting for I guess the sign burnt too... I never thought I'd be here Same place as before The place we knew well when we were young is ours no more And as I lay here drowning in song The wind that once blew about my back has been long gone You've crossed the plains and sailed the seas And seen the lights in every big city And you'll never miss the fire that we set "We were meant to be the biggest of them all Even the sun next to us would seem small"
