Tug of war

I'm closing my eyes and the distance fades
Between the bars of a song I'd write
In the face of darkness, your eyes find a way
While the memory starves in the light

In my mind's eye, you and I
Like billows in the wind
Blowing east towards the shore
Outside, Every night
Tide rolling in
Fraying rope in this tug of war
Fraying rope in this tug of war

Riding a carousel through the tunnel of love
Another hero lost in the wake
I'm tracing the flight of a lone white dove
Every fluttering heart will break

Piercing the jaded image of yesterday
We regret til out hearts retire
In the face of darkness, your eyes are ashamed
Of an image that you will find

Fraying rope in this tug of war
Fraying rope in this tug of war
Fraying rope in this tug of war
Fraying rope in this tug of war
Fraying rope in this tug of war
Fraying rope in this tug of war
