Shimmer

(album: A Town Called Paradise - 2014)

The sun came up too late
Before I got to say
Don't let me get away

I'm six feet from the edge
But I can catch my breath
I'll find a place to rest

I don't wanna put you out
Would I be ruining your day
Has no one ever told you

Do you know when you go
All the lights go out, around me
Do you know when you go, I just wanna disappear
And take myself away
In an ordinary day
You shimmer

A delicate display
I can't appreciate
Till you illuminate
And I scream just to hear myself again
Over the silence in my head
And it's killing me away

And I just can't see it straight
It's like I'm running out of space
And does no one ever told you

Do you know when you go
All the lights go out, around me
Do you know when you go, I just wanna disappear
And take myself away
In an ordinary day
You shimmer
You shimmer
