The Birth Of Meaning

We sang to “Don’t Stop Believing” 
I was eighteen and we’d just won
Our souls in the starring of the sun
And those girls were my life
I had no notion of being a wife
But you walked right in the door
And suddenly I’m not my own anymore
As you just look through the facade and you
Can see I’m red in the places where you’re blue
Now fast forward fifteen years
And you have had your fair share of tears
With a woman you swear is the one
But I can see you, son
And your anger bubbles water
Over that goddess daughter
And she looks past what you are
I can see the star
In you grow dim
And her disappointment when she looks at him
That she don’t recognise
That emotion in his eyes
And I would love to emote
And play him back my favourite quote
That I stole from his page
Like a note in school that’s all the rage
As we pass it to one another
And I know you’ve got a lover
But it doesn’t dim the want
And it haunt
As I know he’s foreign property
I just don’t want her to fight with me
Not even over you
Interrupt your wedding to exclaim that you
Are the one for me
And set you free
From the chains you chose
But it was from the dead He rose
And shone the light
And though I see your kryptonite
I can’t use it against you
There is no defense you
Can use to hide from me
So I retreat and abide in the sea
Between two opposite pairs of land
Does she ever take your hand
And mean what I did
I heard it in your voice as you hid
From me on the phone
So I will leave it alone
And commit myself to a mental institution
Because that is the only solution
That will keep me from profess
That a white dress
Was never needed to be wed
And it doesn’t matter who you have in bed
You’ll always be the flame that burns
But it’s not from books that he learns
