Supernova

I've been living with my eyes closed My arms crossed at bus stops, just waiting I never wanted to impose With my guard up, our best talks were gated Oh, what a challenge not to run Not to let you down again I thought I had a conundrum Didn't know that I had a friend Who could see right through me Better than I do see I don't see much no, sometimes But if there's a point in an exchange of broken lights Why wouldn't we try And if a bullet comes to break your bulb or mine Remain in clear sight And feel the static inside, somewhere's the right kind A supernova in the sky Never said, "I could never be so bright a light" So why would I? Maybe a fear of the unknown Makes us move slow, and I'm so sick of believing it Excuses are nothing but gold, just material We use to block from feeling it Under the bandage Marathons, races against loneliness They keep us busy, we let on That we never wanted what we wanted You are the light I see Today you're next to me Though when tomorrow Comes around you could be Anywhere far from me Ain't no strings to hold tight But if there's a point in an exchange of broken lights Why wouldn't we try And if a bullet comes to break your bulb or mine Remain in clear sight And feel the static inside, somewhere's the right kind A supernova in the sky Never said, "I could never be so bright a light" So why would I? Looking at the comparison Between the things I've done and places I want to be Will I carry the vision out of the prison not out of reach? Seek no permission from the businesses so limiting Was it any wonder that the supernova shrunk with her tongue in cheek? Oh, it's never too late to start, or to embark on a road that's sunny Where the explosions unfreeze the frozen hearts, they unfreeze I'm a little colder than my fellow soldiers, but warming to the heat A lightbulb or flame with a few growing pains in no time will be A supernova A supernova A supernova Mmmm
