Clear Night

I don't know anybody else that lives on my street
I doubt anyone around here has ever noticed me
I guess it's kinda funny, how lonely I've been
Everyone's forgotten me, but I can't seem to forget them

On a clear night, I can see for miles
The remains of a past from which I've been exiled
And I cannot explain my faith
That this dark, sad state will make me great

I have a vague memory of hurting someone so deep
And thousands of promises I never could keep
I have a faint inkling of lies and deceit
And it's hard to reconcile my eyes
With the things I should never have seen

In the bright light, I can see my flaws
But I can also see through them-I see a cause
My doubts are cast away by faith
That all my mistakes are making me great

I just have to tell you, just one more time
I've been waiting for you for all my life
I always knew that I needed this
I always knew that something was missing
I always knew that you existed
I always knew that someone was listening

On a clear night, I can see for miles
Stretching backwards and forewards, I'm still the same child
And I cannot explain this faith
That has taken shape and lead me to you

In the twilight, I can see your eyes
Beaming louder and brighter than a lifetime of lies
And I am swept away in faith
All of my mistakes have lead me to you
