Your faceless person sits in the shadows of the bar

I can feel your gaze on me but can't see you you're too far

Dancing with my demons, you hold the key to my heart

Darling, I think my fantasies of you took the liberty of a headstart

Dangling the keys to my future to me like a beacon, you're a bastard

Evasion seems to be the art you have perfectly mastered

Come to me soon, I am waiting for you

Up on my balcony under skies oh-so-blue

But you already know that, don't you?

Stop teasing like only you seem to be able to

You madden me, the way you haunt

There in every movie and every good song

Every book I read, I somehow find you in it

Lounging in the web of the words of a book you're not permitted in

Laughs echo down the hall, I read the notes you leave

Tantalizing me with stolen kisses claimed in the breeze

There in my bed every night, aren't you?

Cuddling me warm, but never staying the night through

You've got me lovelorn baby and I don't even know you yet

You're at every corner I turn, burning in every cigarette

Stretching my patience so thin, I think will admit

Sometimes I want to burn the world down just to find where you are in it

And I swear when I get a hold of you, I won't let you go

Been too lonely all my life, you're the other half of my soul

Is wishing you were here with me against all odds a sin

When I feel the need for you burning, humming right under my skin?

I want you so bad, it scares me sometimes

What if my dreams of us are the prime of you and I?

What if it's all in my head, and you don't even exist?

Or if you do, you're my destination and I'm a stop in your road that you miss?

And what if I find you and it's not what I think?

And I end up dying suffocated by my fantasies succinct

Will you love me, darling, like I think that you will?

Or will I end up drowning in the waters of the phantoms that you will kill?
