Hot nights like this
Remind me of last August
Lying in the dark
Putting faith in every flicker of the cosmos
Cause I was tired of being alone
So tired of being small and unknown
And in a prayer I felt you tell me
You could feel me like no one ever has
And in the same line you said, hold on
Stay strong, and innocence will bring you to me
Year later, time is still ticking
Slowly and surely
The minute hand is still spinning
Burning patience straight through me
Yet if I never complete the test
I’ll never know what’s out there for me
And I don’t want to take that chance
And in a prayer I felt you tell me
You could feel me like no one ever has
And in the same line you said, hold on
Stay strong, and innocence will bring you to me
I will remain here
In a prayer
Until you come to me
Be it days
Be it years
