What Gives

Somewhere there's a light in an empty room
When my mind is adrift
I'm back there with you

You said a little much
Much too late
Last cheers on a whim
Let's make a night of it

What gives?
Even in the calm there's a hum in it
What gives?
I promise in a while I'll come out again
What gives?
Say all of it is fine
You're so sure of it
What gives?
Even when it's cold you're not coming in

I didn't mean to disappear
It's just there's nothing for me here
But I'm singing all the time

And all I thought the evening through
You know I never needed to
You just let me get it right

And maybe we'll fall out of time
But everything we do survives
Like a chorus in the night

When I don't know your name
When I don't know just what it is I'm saying
When I don't know your face
Lover
Stranger
Stay

And if I leave as I came
Will I wander back in just the same?
See, I was pulled by a thirst
And I was drowned in the words of the saints

And if I've grown out of touch
Well it's from thinking too much
All my days

I saw my body take flight
I felt my limbs come alive
Over you

The slip of your touch
All your being undone
At the seams

And as I drift from your room
Upon the wings of a cold afternoon

I'm alright with it
I'm alright with it
I'm alright with it
I'm alright with it

I'm alright with it
I'm alright with it
I'm alright with it
I'm alright with it
