SILHOUETTE

The standards I set framed you like a silhouette
And the darkness blocked my view
It took an old friend to clear away the ashes
He found the girl I thought I knew

But when I found you
You'd made some mistakes of your own
It's not like we didn't try
But there's no coming home from this one
Even though I swear I'll stay with you this time
I swear

And now my plans lie lost in Chinese whispers
Shallow footprints washing away in the rain
It took an old friend to show me I was good enough
But I've still got a first class ticket to nowhere

And when I find you
I'll have made some mistakes of my own
It's not like I'm not trying
But I don't think I'll be coming home from this one
I've just gotta tell them that I'm not meant to be here
Oh no
I should be with you

And with your head leaned back and that light on your face
I swear I could not love you more
So put your hips in my hands and your lips on mine
And we'll go dancing one more time

Oh we'll go dancing
Oh one more time
Oh we'll go dancing
Oh one last time

And it won't be enough darling
It won't be enough for you
But at least we won't have to try
