Eyes Like Lakes (Room Within a Room)
Sunset through a Brooklyn
Apartment window where
I've been sleeping off the extra days accrued throughout last year
I'm redefining 'normal'
I think that scares me more
Than the months I spent embracing all those thoughts I should abhor
No, I've never known a love
To be so unrelentless
In the way it breaks you down and then demands all your forgiveness
And I've never known a girl
To shut down so completely
And I just hope that you can vocalize your thoughts
Enough to greet me, the next time I come through town
Darling, save me the pretext
I won't be around long enough
To fantasize about what comes next
Eyes like lakes frozen over
Seventeen degrees
Bedsheets create a room within a room so I don't freeze
Pupils adjusting to an unforgiving light
And with that brightness comes the soft and creeping notion
That I might be worth the time
Be worth the effort, be worth the space, and worth the love
Be worth so much more than you think I am in 'potential value of'
And yes, I know that I've been better
And yes, I know I'm not yet whole

But I also know my future isn't under your control
So if the calm precedes the storm
I must have slept like a baby
Persistence takes a human form and swims ashore
As sadness sinks into the sea
The first song that I wrote for you was bittersweet and short
A calm, repeating cadence and a couple major chords
I tried to tell the story of the warmest winter spent
Inside a couple cramped apartments huddled next to heating vents
The next few that I wrote for you, I attempted to process
All the struggles that sustain themselves when splitting east and west
And I shouted them across state lines and hoped that you would hear
But no matter where I broadcast from the signal wasn't clear
I started writing this one when the cold truth settled in
That all my old routes led to nowhere and new roads had to begin
And though I did my best to trace my footsteps back to what I knew
But all my hopes exceeded my reach and my reach fell short of you
The last song that I'll write for you I haven't written yet
But it seems to me that this might be the closest that I'll get
For now, I'll stand in this cathedral
Scream and let it resonate
'When it comes to love that lingers on, don't ever let it wait.'
Don't let it wait
