Matthew Ryan:I Can't Steal You

Hold yourself I'm done
My arms are tired
Saw you walking backwards
Towards the fires
I'm in love with a red sky
I'm in love with a tragedy
We betray what we can't deny
Because she believes she needs me

Caught a flash of absolute perfection
Shattered light fell dark in all directions
Traffic floats like a ballet
Far below in the distance
Just as sad as the words we'd say
It'll all be gone in an instant

Pull me closer
I can't feel you
You'll have to trust me
I can't steal you

Ashtrays lie like hearts
For you to burn in
Smoke curls from your mouth
Before you turn in
Our love is a black gun
I feel the loss in the mundane
In the hours the minutes run
They're just so subtle while they have their way

Pull me closer
I can't feel you
You'll have to trust me
I can't steal you
