To look at you once is all I need
I still see you when you're not next to me
Your image burns as if I looked up at the sun

You're no crosswalk you're my hesitation
I $$#ume it's because I'm afraid of love
So damn afraid of losing it as fast as it comes


But you're the flare that arched through the sky
Letting them know I'm still alive

And for you I'm so grateful

I was the lone fruit

Occasional visits by a mockingbird
While nested under a citrus tree
You're the only songbird that sang to me


You're the flare that arched through the sky
Letting them know I'm still alive

And for you I'm so grateful

Till the age of 29

Replaced faith with pastimes
Convinced that love was just another lie
That's no way to live


Till the age of 29 replaced crushes with pastimes
Convinced that love was just another lie

That's no way to live

You're the flare that arched through the sky

Letting them know I'm still alive
And for you I'm so grateful
