Minutes Turn To Miles

you tore the hands off the clock. i threw away my watch. watched the minutes turn to miles. watched the streetlights glare. flicker and fade. through the cracks in the blinds. spread your wings and fly. i'll be there when the plane gets in. and if it's late again, i'll leave the porchlight on for you. 'cus this can't be hell. when it's cold and it's freezing outside. let the storm brew strong tonight. and bring you home before twilight. i could almost hear paint peeling off of the walls. and leaves colliding with lawns. wide awake at dawn. was a hell of a way to usher in the new year
