Light up the Sky

“Baby, let me light up the sky, light it up for you-“

“Just take me away from this empty apartment“

“If only you’d let me tell you why I would die for you... if ever you loved me you’d say it’s okay...”

“Everything has changed since we were kids,” she cried out, then stopped. Her voice lowered as she spoke again, with a sadness, an edge that betrayed her shadows and regrets of the past, “we were the best of friends,” her voice broke on the last word as she choked back the tears

Taking advantage of the emotion in her voice he started again, this time pleading: “When you’re all alone with the melody will close your eyes and think of me? Try and put aside our history. Babe, you were the reason I survived“

“Then where did you go? I waited here, you never showed“

“Not everything has changed, I’m the same boy that stood by the sea“

Face blank, no more tears “this is just a matter of me getting what I need. I’m tired of you and me. When the secret’s safe… then I’m gone“

Love it, the last line especially. Makes you think that there’s more to it than just a simple relationship.

Never heard of the band, but it made for a moving little interaction between the two. And ditto to Saint Chuck’s comment. I think the last line made the whole story.
