Talking to Air
You can sell all your dreams to me on a lonely summer's night
I promise you, darling, I'll make them turn out all right
By the time you've spoken the very last word from your mind
The sun will be here, just rising in the dusty morning sky
And we'll take the hands that lay between us, entwine
We can lay all the promises down, between yours and mine
Then smile sadly at the fate that's left us empty here
When I turn to you and realize that I was just talking to air
There was never a sweeter memory like being in your arms
There was never a better way I wanted to spend my day
Now just as the wind will blow the leaves in a dance
I look back and sigh at the loss of my one and only chance
There's the glass wall that stands between the two of us
Too thick to break down, too tall to go around to find you
It's not the first time, I've had to let a love like you go
And this heart of mine will break more times than you'll know.
