Mystery [Live/Curfews]

Each time you'd pull down the driveway

I wasn't sure when I would see you again

yours was a twisted blindsided highway

no matter which road you took then

oh you set up your place in my thoughts

moved in and made my thinking crowded

now we're out in the back with the barking dogs

my heart the red sun

your heart the moon clouded

I could go crazy on a night like tonight

when summer's beginning to give up her fight

and every thought's a possibility

and the voices are heard but nothing is seen

why do you spend this time with me

maybe an equal mystery



So what is love then is it dictated or chosen

(handed down and made by hand)

does it sing like the hymns of 1000 years

or is it just pop emotion

(handed down and made by hand)

and if it ever was there and it left

does it mean it was never true

and to exist it must elude

is that why I think these things of you

I could go crazy on a night like tonight

when summer's beginning to give up her fight

and every thought's a possibility

and the voices are heard but nothing is seen

why do you spend this time with me

may be an equal mystery



But you like the taste of danger

it shines like sugar on your lips

and you like to stand in the line of fire

just to show you can shoot straight from you hip

there must be a 1000 things you would die for

I can hardly think of two

but not everything is better spoken aloud

not when I'm talking to you



Oh the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight

breaks a bottle to christen her

basking in the exploits of her thief

she's a very good listener

maybe that's all that we need

is to meet in the middle of impossibility

we're standing at opposite poles

equal partners in a mystery

(handed down and made by hand)



We're standing at opposite poles

equal partners in a mystery
