lyrics

our sunset secret’s everywhere
in her eyes
and every strand of her hair
seductive as sin
but we can’t begin again
no no
she hides her fears in her lover’s head
lives out her fears in her lover’s bed
all the while, in her own style
she’s in love with a shadow
she just wants to feel god’s breath
moving through her years
moving her to tears
sometimes being used
is better than being nothing at all
like it was 1981
and i was driving you home
we could be in love
at least we could pretend
yeah i’m awake
but just barely
you’re laying next to me
and you look me squarely in the eyes
but to my surprise
you see nothing
what’s there to see?
a walking shade, mostly a ghost
if there ever were a time
when i needed you the most
this would be it
sometimes being used
is better than being nothing at all
i will wait for you to find yourself
and then i’ll wait some more
like it was 1981
and i was driving you home
yeah we could be in love
