Close your eyes
Have no fear
The night is wide
But she’ll find you here

It curls like coffee cup smoke
On that off-white dress you used to know so well

That dizzy smile in clouded swirl
That soft-skinned while when I was hers
Those lips that finally formed
In the haze of light from your bedroom door
Once more said, “Don’t fear the coming wave
Nothing breaks with it
I am in the rain
I am the Empire State
And I won’t change a bit”

I miss all of you now
My home as much as stranger sounds whispered
It pulls like nothing I’ve known
Between a place to live and space to grow
My home all alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone

I’m gonna be the one who sees you
I’m gonna be the one who knows
I’m gonna be the one who fears you
I’m gonna be the one you chose
