it s over

Civil Twilight

You and I
Riding down Broadway
Looking for some action
Two scattered souls
In a scattered world
Your hands on the wheel
And your eyes
Searching for cover

But one look from you
And it's over
One look from you
And I'm over

I can't sleep
With this heart's beat
Thumping in my chest
Like an engine
So I gather all my things
In the corner of the room
And I light the match
And watch it burn to my fingers

But one word from you
And it's over
One word from you
And I'm over

People try
To get what they want
People try
To hold it so close
But they won't know
That my heart is driftwood
Floating down your coast

It's been two weeks, now,
Since I walked through
That front door
It's been two weeks
Since I felt your skin
And tonight you wear
The spirit like a cover

And one touch from you
And it's over
One touch from you
And I'm over
Just one touch from you
And it's over
Just one touch from you
And I'm over
