Dear John movie - Set Fire To The Third Bar lyrics

rate me

I find the map and draw a straight line<br>

Over rivers, farms, and state lines<br>

The distance from 'A' to where you'd be<br>

It's only finger-lengths that I see<br>

I touch the place where I'd find your face<br>

My finger in creases of distant dark places<br>

<br>

I hang my coat up in the first bar<br>

There is no peace that I've found so far<br>

The laughter penetrates my silence<br>

As drunken men find flaws in science<br>

<br>

Their words mostly noises<br>

Ghosts with just voices<br>

Your words in my memory<br>

Are like music to me<br>

<br>

I'm miles from where you are,<br>

I lay down on the cold ground<br>

I, I pray that something picks me up<br>

And sets me down in your warm arms<br>

<br>

After I have travelled so far<br>

We'd set the fire to the third bar<br>

We'd share each other like an island<br>

Until exhausted, close our eyelids<br>

And dreaming, pick up from<br>

The last place we left off<br>

Your soft skin is weeping<br>

A joy you can't keep in<br>

<br>

I'm miles from where you are,<br>

I lay down on the cold ground<br>

And I, I pray that something picks me up<br>

and sets me down in your warm arms<br>

<br>

I'm miles from where you are,<br>

I lay down on the cold ground<br>

and I, I pray that something picks me up<br>

and sets me down in your warm arms <br>

<br>
