Cold january night, alcohol drenched veins,
blurred all the petty weapons for this pain.
Raging tracks, flashing lights
none could stand the war that night.
My friends told me I'm gone too far,
When I dialled your number in the dark.
I Said it's stupid not being there all my days,
I wish you into my dreams
through the watch that you gave me.
I know your shelf where our box still lays
It's a hoax you see,
that our love is not the same.
You said, girl there's a secret you've missed.
Some years, some more calendar flips;
Once your eyes have seen this world,
And my dreams have all come true;
There'll be another January night,
just me and you.
Winter shawl, a phone call,
some stars will align,
I'll bring along our pale blue box,
And love, if you'll still have my watch;
We'll embrace our tainted twisted love
That was buried for all this time.
I hold the phone closer to me
As you say that we'll have nowhere else to be.
if I bring my car, will you come along with me ?
Time will roll it's favorite dice
I'll try to hide, but you'll know it, "right !"
"We're going to that park,
like our very first night."
Your hand in mine, my heart in yours
if tears blur out our eyes
They'll roll down only to touch our smiles
The books say that 'firsts' don't happen twice,
but that night, I will hold your hand
and you will know otherwise.
I say stay, stay a while longer
And let me weave our forever from this phonecall.
Let me freeze time and space
So the world shrinks down to just you and me.
Promise my demons won't scare you now
When love feels still, the demons won't ask 'how'.
I wake up when the call cuts, it's half past two.
my phone log is saying that I dreamt of you.
I search for signs to prove me right
As my swollen eyes scream that all of it was true.
Right then, You call to see if i am doing alright.
