Amber Tan

I find myself missing you

and it ain't that bad

 

I find myself missing you baby

but it don't leave me sad

 

You helped me pave that rusty road

a line from you to me

It was always give or take 

and never in between 

 

I find myself thinking

about your eyes so amber tan

I see them shine then fade within the light

like a stone held in my hand

 

They lit up in my doorway

a refuge from the street

And it was always give or take with me 

and never in between  

 

I wonder how you're doing

if your feeling on the up

Saw your ride driving by

wished to stop and take a look

 

Because it was always give and take with me

and never in between

You helped me pave that rusty road

a line from you to me

 

You set me alight

let me fly right from your palm

I can't describe this desire

this void you fill, my soul to spill

 

inside this empty skull of mine

 

inside this empty skull of mine

 

This bird flies solo 

especially tonight

I can find my way home

but it's lonely on this road

 

and I just sigh

turn up the radio

tell myself that life, 

will come and go

 

they come and go

 

but you . . .

you touched me in places

people never dare to search

 

you placed your palms together

your words are inked forever

 

branded to my soul

 

Cuz it was always give and take with me

and never in between

You helped me pave that rusty road

a line from you to me
