The Chapter Ends Here

I am tracing the lines on the palm of your hand
We are lost in the heat of a quiet command
The shadows are heavy, the fire is low
I am pulling you close where you wanted to go
The dust on the highway is settling down
We left all the noise at the edge of the town
Your fingers are pulling the edge of my coat
I am catching the breath that is caught in your throat
The flicker of amber is painting the wall
I am standing on edges and ready to fall
The silence is asking the questions we hide
I am leaving the ghost of the morning outside
The chapter ends here, with your head on my chest
We are trading the daylight for shadows and rest
I am crossing the lines that I swore I would keep
The chapter ends here in the dark and the deep
The chapter ends here
Oh, the chapter ends here
The touch of your skin is a gentle caress
I am reading the stories you finally confess
The rhythm is slow and the fever is high
I am finding the truth in the look in your eye
The flicker of amber is painting the wall
I am standing on edges and ready to fall
The silence is asking the questions we hide
I am leaving the ghost of the morning outside
The chapter ends here, with your head on my chest
We are trading the daylight for shadows and rest
I am crossing the lines that I swore I would keep
The chapter ends here in the dark and the deep
The chapter ends here
Oh, the chapter ends here
The rivers have turned and the bridges have burned
I am giving you all of the love I have earned
You whisper for Sayed in the quiet and deep
I am giving you promises I am going to keep
The gravity pulls and I am losing control
I am pouring the last of my heart in your soul
I have spent a lifetime looking for this page
You are the only ending I will ever need
The chapter ends here, with your head on my chest
We are trading the daylight for shadows and rest
I am crossing the lines that I swore I would keep
The chapter ends here in the dark and the deep
