Call Ahead

Rising up breathing deeply you dream

Emotions hovering like some apparition

Between the familiar and unknown

Places unlock that you couldn't find

Standing at the door you're either bright eyed or balling

Is something on the other end?

Is there someone to call ahead?

Racing away with only darkness behind

You're catching glimpses with the headlights on

Memory fades another moment to find

A fleeting thought before it's already gone

Visiting places buried in time

You know your heart well, your spirit has drifted

Floating like some ferry lost in a fog

Your eyes hunting as you're making the turns

Now that something inside you certainly shifted

The voices make your memories burn

But you know love always returns

Racing away with only darkness behind

You're catching glimpses with the headlights on

Memory fades another moment to find

A fleeting thought before it's already gone

And now you're left with the ghost in you

And you're laughing 'cause you know all the words

And all the tears that you're driving through

Sure as the sun in your eyes

Love always returns

All the fallen memories escape

Let all the fallen memories escape

Racing away from the dark

Thoughts caught in the headlights

All your memories stray

Unfamiliar ranges

You glimpsed but found them gone

And now you're left with the ghost in you

And you're laughing 'cause you still know the words

And all the tears that you're driving through

Sure as the sun in your eyes

Love always returns

Call ahead... call ahead

Call ahead... call ahead
