When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Rose-gold tendrils of hair fought against the slim metal bobby pins her graceful hands were placing. Looking in the mirror, forest-green orbs with golden flecks stared straight back at her. Juniper had always hated the city, especially on nights like tonight. Tonight was New Year's Eve, sighing she finished pinning her hair into a fancy up-do. The city was always in a rush, never taking one moment to even treasure the calm and tonight was no different.
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
If it wasn't for her friends pushing her to go out, Juni would happily stay in the dorms and study. She glanced down at her desk, a book laid open with brightly colored lines on the text. Her dissertation was still due next week and she was still in the planning phase. But Juni was always the one to pull an all-nighter to get her work done at the last moment. Crossing to the closet she grabbed a pair of slacks, a button-down shirt, and a leather jacket. She never knew where her friends would drag her on these nights so she decided to dress up a bit. Quickly changing she slips on her black dress shoes and applies her barely noticeable makeup. "It's now or never," She whispered silently to herself.
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
