Someone Called Sarah - Dark Sky Lyrics

I think it was the fire
It made your smile wink in my direction
I could have lit the fuse of my heart
Sent it skywards, no hesitation
I could have let the night change me
From a saint to a sinner
I talk a big talk and walk a long walk
To not look like such a beginner
At seeing signs and reading minds
At knowing what to do
When I think, Damn, this person's fine
I could have told you, Hey
You look great today
But I saw you stop your face from lighting up
When you looked my way
Sometimes that's just how it goes
You're victim to the ebbs and flows
Not knowing the boundaries
Of learning about you and me
Sometimes the fireworks don't fly
So our imaginations paint them in the dark sky
I think it was my red skirt
Or the tight shirt that made you look so nervous
Or the deep talks where we found out
We're both recovering addicts of feeling worthless
You could have let the night change you
From a stranger to a lover
You had your hand there
And I was unaware
That you might be good at everything other than
Seeing signs and reading minds
At knowing what to do
When you think, Damn, this person's fine
You could have told me, Hey
You look great today
But you saw me stop my face from lighting up
When I looked your way
Sometimes that's just how it goes
You're victim to the ebbs and flows
Not knowing the boundaries
Of learning about you and me
Sometimes the fireworks don't fly
So our imaginations paint them in the dark sky
We could have made constellations
From earth-shattering, wild sensations
That everyone feels from time to time
We could have been a masterpiece
A magnum opus, or art at least
If I had taken the chance to make you mine
But sometimes that's just how it goes
You're victim to the ebbs and flows
Not knowing the boundaries
Of learning about you and me
Sometimes the fireworks don't fly
So our imaginations paint them in the dark sky
There's so much wonder in this dark sky
It's a beautiful, magnificent dark sky
