"Twice As Bright" lyrics

Damn. I miss the drive
I miss the small towns, the big skies
The mountain peaks
The sleeping late for days or weeks
Fridays, I leave my daily grind
Mediocrity is miles behind me
And I'm back to her

I know I'm never gonna find
Anyone like you again
It's true
But burning twice as bright...
Well, I'm better off alive
Than loving you
You're twice as bright

"Twice As Bright" should have been her name
Binge at night day after day
Crashing in her tent
The stars at night saw everything
At the morning's bitter cold
Stoke the fire, kiss the coals
One last sweet time she pulls me back to spoon
She said

"I know I'm never gonna find
Anyone like you again
It's true
But burning twice as bright...
Well, I'm better off alive
Than loving you
Then again
You're twice as bright."

Re-entry burn, the weekend's long
I return, the passion's gone
Short on the phone, long-distance insanity
She begs me to leave my city mind
But I'm gonna miss that midnight cowboy carnival of lost souls and the art of the long goodbye

I know I'm never gonna find
Anyone like you again
It's true
But burning twice as bright...
Well, I'm better off alive
Than loving you
You're twice as bright
