Owl city-Vanilla twilight

The stars lean down to kiss you

And I lie awake and miss you

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly

But I'll miss your arms around me

I'd send a postcard to you, dear

'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light-blue

But it's not the same without you

Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad

'Til I look at my hands and feel sad

'Cause the spaces between my fingers

Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways

Though I haven't slept in two days

'Cause cold nostalgia

Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight

I'll sit on the front porch all night

Waist-deep in thought because

When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink

I'll think of you tonight

I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter

And heavy wings grow lighter

I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew

But I swear I won't forget you

Oh, if my voice could reach

Back through the past

I'd whisper in your ear

Oh darling, I wish you were here

So-Far-away_Avenged SevenFold

 

Never feared for anything, never shamed but never free  
A life that healed a broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly,
saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
 
Will you stay? 
Will you stay away forever?


How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned  
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

 
Plans of what our futures hold, 
foolish lies of growing old  
It seems we're so invincible, 
the truth is so cold
  
A final song, 
a last request, a perfect chapter laid to rest  
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Where you can stay,
you can stay awake forever

How do I live without the ones I love?  
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid  
The ones that we love are here with me  
Lay away a place for me
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way  
To live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love?  
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away


I love you, you were ready
The pain is strong enough despise  
But I'll see you when he lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied
So far away and I need you to know
  So far away and I need you to, need you to know
