Your stray bullet

Last night, we put on the cruise control
and switched on the autopilot

Travelled thru the night
just me and you
with the moon overhead

Caught by your stray bullet
I lost sight and direction
Caught by your stray bullet
I found a connection

We were in the presence of memories
flashing cameras
capturing moments

In a perfect world
there was no timeframe
In a perfect world
tomorrow wil have never come

Now i sit here today
empty room.... me and my pen

Digging myself deeper
my words are always free
Digging myself deeper
It's so typical of me

Back at the start
I'm pushing away
I hope you kept a place in memory

I'll be here
but keeping hope is tough
I'll be here
when will that be enough

 Your stray bullet
 When I think of you
 Untitled
 Unbreakable Foe
 Two sides
 Truly are a star
 Tomorrow is another day
 Tiny soldiers
 The Thief
 The Scenic Route
 The Message
 The Game
 Talking to the mirror
 Someone Just Like You
 She Doesn't Get It
 School Ends
 Rewind
 Rainbow
 Pretend it never happened
 Our beloved tyrants
 Only God knows when
 One Wish
 One wish
 Ode to the Green
 October Leaves
 My silent cry
 My Lucid Dream
 My Fav. Color is green
 My dream
 Misery in the Heart
 Maybe this will be the morning
 Maple Leaf
 Like an angel, you're wonderful
 Life
 Keeping a Night Sky Alive
 Its Over and She's Gone
 If She Only Knew
 If i could be..
 Idle Before the Motionless Lights
 I will come to you
 I long for the day
 I hope it's you
 I have never seen farther than you
 I Hate You
 I can't seem to let you go
 I call my thoughts
 How happy she made us
 Home
 Girl of the Wind
 From point A to point B
 For you
 Far and Near
 Falling leaves
 Everything good goes away in the end
 Eraser
 Empty Hallway
 Don’t you ever
 Deja Vue
 Clones
 Being a Man
 Appreciate Beauty, Appreciate Life
 Angel in Disguise
 A Woman's Smile
 A Road So Covered in Snow
 A Dreamer, in years to come
