While you're away My eyes are tied to photographs more each day And she asks: What is love And why can mine be yours? And what is love If I'm waiting for something like yours? So close your eyes and open wounds To fade away Intoxicating, your perfume It stays for days I lost myself Wanting you desperately And I found myself Taken by everything And if I try to see through The changes you've made to feel I could get lost in feelings Changing inside of me But I'd lay here forever if I knew I'd only be dreaming of you And She asks: What is love? So honestly, if it came down to you, and me Would you still feel the same way now without me 'Cause I'm waiting for winter And if the late nights, and streetlights Don't fade into cold and gray You can still find me trying to find all the words to say And I'd lay here forever if I knew That I'd only be dreaming of you And She asks: What is love? You are just as empty as me And I'm falling for sweet misery Well Dear it's a long way down To find yourself falling apart without giving your heart And, you're almost there
