The Way It Dimmed
Amanda Shires
This is how I think about you
A parade of images I never finish sorting through
Your hands laced in my belt loops
I remember the fire and the way it dimmed
As a fire will sometimes do
Closer was never close enough
At closing time, we watched the lights and the sun come up
You begged me to stay
You fell asleep and I slipped away
I remember the fire and the way it dimmed
As a fire will sometimes do
Flashback
Your headlights across the lawn
You are the thing I'm always thinking that I lost
Your fingerprints are still burned in to my skin
And I remember the fire and the way it dimmed
As a fire will sometimes do
