Bright Lights Will Harm No-one

Don't hesitate and wait for signposts to raise the stakes
Your hands around my slow escape
Time implodes then starts again, and forms in shapes

Pale as water and paper thin
These subtle meanings won't make the grade
I bought a rainbow to guard your sky
In my defence, I don't know why

Sounds we didn't share
Five years gone and you still act like you don't care

Eyes roll into the sun
Bright lights will harm no one
Speak now my hummingbird
Laughter won't count as words

We'll pass the parcel
Till the music stops
But we won't dance till we've forgot
We can't be single and we can't be whole
And the bitter truth is we can't be both
