In The Darkness

Christian Kane

I guess I oughta tell you what’s been going on
Well I’ve been chasing dreams for everyone but me.
When your heart is filled with misery
It’s hard to find the energy
To remember just how much she means to me.

Well I keep everything inside so long till it burns
Everybody stokes the fire and the walls get a little higher.
I light the candle at both ends
And I hit the gas, the wheels start to spin
But she’s always there to catch me when I fall.

‘Cause I’ve been hell on wheels for days now
There ain’t a shade of red I can’t paint
When the lights go down, she always helps me see.
In the darkness a day will come
Another light for you to lean upon
But until then maybe your heart
Can rest in mine.

I just can’t get the hang of hanging on
Every time I try to grab it, the will is gone.
When she looks into my eyes
She sees a man she used to recognize
And not the stranger trying to go it all alone.
Maybe someday I’ll see exactly what she sees in me.
Maybe someday I’ll be exactly who she wants me to be.
Maybe someday I’ll have the strength to run into the man that I once was
But right now I think I’ll walk into a crawl.
