7 songs in 7 days challenge, day two. Prompt, "Silver Lining"
lyrics
if you really wanna know what's on my mind
go ahead and try defining what's behind the stillness of the night
and if you really wanna waste my time
tell me there's a silver lining
it's getting late
if we don't go now we'll miss them at the gate
and the edges of my view begin to fade
are you still here?
hold my hand before I slip into
the panic that I've come to hold so dear
no so fast
hold me close so I don't coast into
a chasm of the failures of my past
if you really wanna know what's on my mind
go ahead and try defining what's behind the stillness of the night
and if you really wanna waste my time
tell me there's a silver lining
