I lost control
And when I stole
I justified the theft
With each exhale
I watched you fail
To hold onto you breath
Tonight my heart is yours
To borrow
And if our love is gone
Tomorrow
They’ll be no torch song
I’m singing in your name
Sometimes it’s just desire
Sometimes it’s just a…
Call it lust
Or fairy dust
It’s hanging in the air
Above the noise
Underneath the ploys
I don’t need truth or dare
Tonight my heart is yours
To borrow
And if our love is gone
Tomorrow
They’ll be no torch song
I’m singing in your name
Sometimes it’s just desire
Sometimes it’s just a game


Empire Tides - Torch Song

Expectations managed
Before we even start
I’m at a disadvantage
You've got a second hand heart 

I should run, run 
Be on the safe side 
Before we start to collide 
I know that you still need time
You can try, try 
You’ll never hide it
Your kiss will not deny it 
It may be over in your mind

There’s still an echo
There’s still and echo
There’s still an echo keeping us apart
She’s still an echo
She’s still an echo
She’s still an echo in your heart

Tonight you feeling damaged
Your knocking at my door 
But I won’t be a bandage
I'd rather be the cure 

It’s slowly fading
I hope toon you’ll be unbound
I will be waiting
’Til I know longer hear the sound

Empire Tides - Still An Echo

The lights in the canyon flicker
The world rushes by so fast
The beat of my heart gets quicker
When you step on the gas
You tap the roof each time
We run a yellow light
So I close my eyes and hope
That the superstition's right

Another starless night outside of paradise
Just trying to survive
And all the saving grace I see in your face
Just makes me feel alive
It makes me want to drive

I'm watching the horizon
My feet are up on the dash
How far can we take this road
How long till we're out of cash

Another sleepless night and my eyes try to fight
But I've got bigger plans
We're gonna greet the sun cause we were born to run
Let 'em catch us if they can
They'll never understand

We roll the windows down
Turn up the radio
I know this song by heart
Tonight it will be my home

See the speed limit sign but I'd rather pay the fine
Then slow to 65
The past your mirror shows it's closer than you know
Who cares when we arrive
I just want to drive
