Headlights

Yeah I need meaning
As much as I need air to fill these old lungs of mine

I didn't notice but I've been holding
my breath as long as I've been alive

The spots behind my eyes they glitter in the dark

As they get closer they illuminate their mark

Everybody stares into the headlights bearing down
But we don't care, standing in the glare

We didn't see them coming, headlights closing in

Everybody stares

Through my fingers everything was monotone and weak

Now all the colours bring me to my knees
I was so afraid of repeating myself
That I never said anything at all

The spots behind my eyes they glitter in the dark

As they get closer they illuminate their mark

Everybody stares into the headlights bearing down
But we don't care, standing in the glare

We didn't see them coming, headlights closing in

I found you, you give me meaning

In everything you do,

I found you, now I've discovered

What I have got to do,

I'm broken and I'm bruised

I'm beaten black and blue,

Split at the seams but so are you

If you take me as I am, better and bland
I'd face the headlights, side by side with you
