Nights Not About a Friend
(words by Missy Ryan & music by Jim Cobb)

The nights rest sleepless in the summer
Sheets tossed unneeded to the floor
Sit on the roof of a wasted town
Just to watch the white stars soar
Her sweat falls golden down to his fingertips
The dark has never been so bright
She throws the answers through her smile
And these are just their perfect nights

IF ONLY LAUGHTER LASTED LONGER,
IF ONLY MEMORIES NEVER FADE,
IF ONLY CHAINED HEARTS BONDED STRONGER,
IF ONLY LOVE WAS NEVER MADE.

The sparkle's withered from her glazed eyes,
Dried roses crumbled in a fist,
Fluid's missing from his lighter,
The soul's been missing from their kiss
As the silence keeps on growing thicker
The light thieves blackness from the sky
Their words may never cross each other but
The past will always pass them by

IF ONLY MOONLIGHT LASTED LONGER,
IF ONLY DARKNESS NEVER FADES,
IF ONLY STARS COULD HOLD NIGHTS LONGER,
IF ONLY DAYS WERE NEVER MADE.
