Mystery

Each time you pulled down the driveway
Wasn't sure when I'd see you again
Yours was a twisted, blindsided highway
No matter which road you took then
Oh you set up your place in my thoughts
Moved in and made my thinking crowded
Now we're out in the back with the park and dogs
My heart the red sun, your heart the moon clouded
I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
The voices are heard, nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
May be an equal mystery
So what is love then?
Is it dictated or chosen?
Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years
Or is it just a pop emotion?
If it never was there and it left
Does it mean it was never true?
Or to exist it must elude
Is that why I think these things of you?
And you like the taste of danger
It shines like sugar upon your lips
You like to stand in the line of fire
To show that you can shoot straight from the hip
There must be a thousand things you'd die for
I can hardly think of two
But tell me why is everything better
When I'm talking with you?
I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
The voices are heard, nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
May be an equal mystery
Pirate gets a girl in the ship tonight
Breaks a bottle to christen her
Basking in the exploits of a thief
She's a very good listener
Maybe that's all that we need
To meet in the middle of impossibility
Standing at opposite poles
Equal partners in a mystery
I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
The voices are heard, nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
May be an equal mystery
