Can We Meet Again, In the Light of the Morning?

Put her best foot forward

Wore her best dress

Hoping to impress

But her date ignores her

Silent eyes

Cards kept to his vest

So when the night was closing,

Why did she ask him to go inside?

That sinking feeling growing

Hand in hand

He carefully replied:

"Can we meet again in the light of the morning?

Hope you’ll see who I am

In the light of the morning sun."

Here’s to second chances

Let’s raise a glass to masks that fall away

The queen of failed romances

And the quiet boy who never learned to stay

We’re quite the pair now, darling

Broken pieces that don’t fit that well

A fucked up movie starring

A shattered mess

and the boy who never fell

I think I love you broken

Just like you relish all my endless flaws

So many words unspoken

Except those ten that began it all
