The Answers

A lonely summer night

As I puff a cigarette and stare at the summer sky
I think of all I've got and then I question why
Satisfaction is a thing so far removed from me
And despite years of claiming faith I never quite believed
I try to pull those I love so close that they just pull away
And every time I long for you it just ends up in pain
I toil and I pray and search to find some peace
But no matter if I listen God never answers me

I know we're growing older and our lives are moving on
Soon you'll be off at college and I'll go back to my job
Time and time again I miss my every chance
But I'd offer you everything if you would spare one dance
