Eleven Lyrics

Rain still beats against the windshield.
My haunted eyes stare through the glass.
Lights and shapes race in the twilight,
Phantoms in the weary haze.
But the images that fill my vision
Aren't mirrored in the world outside.
Because you're not here and I'm left empty,
Memories spinning through my mind.

Alone I drift past rows of streetlights,
Their glow obscured by pouring rain.
Like endless tears against the window,
Their music bittersweet with pain.
A silence filled with words unspoken,
Your voice still ringing in my ears.
We used to fill the hours with laughter.
That sound is just a memory here.

My heart still longs to break this silence.
To scream at the indifferent stars.
To confess to you how much I miss
Those nights spent with you in my arms.

The sound of rain brings thoughts unbidden
And memories of distant times.
That first night that we shared together,
The sky looked like it does tonight.
On this same stretch of rain-soaked freeway
Our smiles would meet in nervous joy.
But on that night, so much like this one,
The darkness never felt this cold.
