​The Next Time Around

Were you lost too? We’re you even searching on that summer night?

Under the moon and stars, we found conversation until the grace of the morning light,

Your words found their way to a part of me so long locked away,

I saw life a burden, but you gave me every reason to stay,

How did you do it?

How did you make a man out of this misfit?

How did you make the darkest night moonlit?

How did you save me from myself?

You changed everything I couldn’t help,

I owe you lifetimes of debt,

I hope we manage to find one another in every life there is to come, in all the lives that are left,

I’ll always be true, you’ll find me only a step behind,

And here I thought I was the last of my kind,

So at the end of our days, when the commitment to one another is over and we commit ourselves under the dirt in the ground,

Promise me, oh promise me, I’ll find you once more,

The next time around.
