A word from me: There are times I like to get really picky about song styles Other times I just name styles in the moment I'm writing But this time I went back to an old, unpublished song and listened I felt the meaning and why I wrote them, but not the style I wanted something softer, not the 'Hair Metal' I used to create it I feel it gives the words a deeper meaning when it was slowed down Anyhow, I hope people like it. ogsixer [Intro] (Clean electric guitar, slow) [Verse 1] We were fire in a midnight sky, Leather jacket, cherry lipstick high. You were laughing on the back of my bike, Hair in the wind, we were born to ignite. Then the little fights turned to storms, Words like blades, hearts torn. Watched you pack that suitcase slow, One last look, then you let me go. I stayed frozen in the doorway frame, Smell of perfume, whisper of your name. Thought my pride would keep me strong, Now I’m choking on how I was wrong. [Pre-Chorus] Every shadow on the wall looks just like you, Every song on the radio cuts me in two. If there’s a devil in this, it’s me, I know, I lit the fuse and watched us blow. [Chorus] Now I’m screaming to the sky tonight, Begging for a second shot at our broken life. I would crawl through every flame, I’d rewrite every fight, I would burn this heart to get you back tonight. All these tears on the floor where we used to dance, I’m a ghost in a love I killed by chance. If you hear this in the dark, baby, don’t let go— I’m still fighting for your soul. [Verse 2] I’ve been dialing your number just to hear that tone, Old voicemail, your voice on my phone. “Hey, it’s me,” you laugh, “leave a message, babe,” Now it’s just a gravestone on the life we made. I quit the bar, put the bottles away, Tore up the list of the games I played. Every promise that I never kept, Got me pacing through these nights I’ve wept. I’m writing letters that I’ll never send, Trying to learn how a coward bends. I’d trade the stage and the lights and sound, Just to see you once, just to turn this around. [Pre-Chorus 2] Every sunrise that breaks through my windowpane, Feels like judgment on my shame. If there’s a way back home to you, I’ll bleed it out, I’ll see it through. [Chorus 2] So I’m screaming to the sky tonight, Begging for a second shot at our broken life. I would crawl through every flame, I’d rewrite every fight, I would burn this heart to get you back tonight. All the songs that I sing are a prayer in disguise, Every lyric is a tear that I hide in my eyes. If you feel this in your bones, baby, hear my plea— You were always home to me. [Guitar Solo] (Soaring, emotional solo over chorus chords) [Bridge] If I could turn back time, I’d hold you closer, Kiss your fears away, never say “it’s over.” I’d listen when you’re breaking, not run from your tears, I’d be the man you needed through the shattered years. If you’re out there in the dark, don’t close that door, I’m not that selfish boy no more. Give me one last chance, I’ll prove it’s true— I’d trade the rest of my life just to live it with you. [Final Chorus] So I’m screaming to the sky tonight, Begging for a second shot at our broken life. I would crawl through every flame, I’d rewrite every fight, I would burn this heart to get you back tonight. Yeah, I’ll stand in the wreckage of the lies I told, Build you a kingdom out of rock and gold. If you hear this and your heart still beats my name, Baby, let me kill this pain. [Tag Chorus – Stripped down] Now I’m whispering to the sky so high, “If you come back, I’ll never say goodbye.” Just a broken man with a ring in his hand, Still believing we’ve got one last stand. [Outro] (Guitars ring out, soft ad-lib) Whoa-oh-oh… I would burn this heart… Till you come back home… (Fade)
