Signal Flare

from Love Letters by Circlejourney

lyrics

By the time you hear this, you'll know the ways I'm in pain
You'd've seen me curled on the floor screaming for help again
I'm never hoping that anyone will come
But you did, whoa
Sometimes I'm a capsizing boat firing a flare
Certain that the towns on the mountain can't see me up there
Cities and ports in the storm, blinking for help that won't come
But you did, whoa

Why did you choose me? I don't know
When thousands of people come and go
And all the ones that we lose, we love till death or goodbye
All will die, but God, it's worth a go

Hold me in your arms like it's forever
Let's forget the past but never ever
Say it was a waste, for the taste of love, I'll have the pain
If I gain nothing, still you were always worth the go
You know, I love you so

Do you still remember we sat at tables
And talked the evening over
And drank and mourned and walked
Your plans for dinner that week, my fear of falling asleep
I went home, whoa
Bridges where we stood and decided where we would go
Pictures in the neighbourhood lights and cars going slow
Trading the night for the day, the passing ships in the bay
Where I roam, whoa

Why did I choose you, I don't know
When old doors are closing, new ones open
Love is a ride, in time we all must alight
Hold on tight, you know it's worth a go

Hold me in your arms like it's forever
Let's forget the past but never ever
Say it was a waste, for the taste of love, I'll have the pain
If I gain nothing, still you were always worth it
So raise the sail, we answer to no nation
Freedom means we need no destination
So say, "We do it scared," 'cause we dared to brave the deep unknown
Though I know nothing
Still you are always worth the go
You know I love you so

When the signal starts to fade, I'm afraid to start a war
Am I sending Morse to someone who's reading semaphore?
Still we try to hear each other, each rhyme and metaphor
Restring the lines each time, let's try once more

(One, two, three)
Hold me in your arms like it's forever
Let's forget the past but never ever
Say it was a waste, for the taste of love, I'll have the pain
If I gain nothing, still you are always worth it
So raise the sail, we answer to no nation
Freedom means we need no destination
So say, "We do it scared," 'cause we dared
To brave the deep unknown
Though I know nothing
Still you are always worth the go
You know I love you so
