If Faith Had A Face

Finding my way back to sanity
But, I don't really know how to get there
I am hanging on every word you've ever said
And, I don't want to sleep tonight
Could you just hold me for a little while
So I can listen to you breathing
Feel your pulse race, so fast
Just like the times before...
Looking past the shadows into my mind
Trying to see to tomorrow
I just want to feel, one more time, your arms around me
Don't speak tonight, I want nothing more
Than to fall asleep, in your firey embrace
I just want you to be here, now
I'm afraid to open my eyes, fear of what I'd find
Or what I won't find
But, I open them, anyway
Banking on a feeling...
Staring out the window, watching the rain come down
Seeing the mist, slink across the wet ground
I wonder where you are, I wonder what you're doing
Are you on your way?
Or is this another dream, pounding in my head?
I'm waiting for tonight...
I'm waiting for tomorrow...
I'm somewhere in between, reality and the dream
Balancing on the edge, would you catch me if I fell?
I may collapse down at your feet, again
Will you be here, when it all goes down?
Will you hold me through the night?
Find me here, I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the peace, that can save me
You are the strength that keeps me going
Even after all this time, you are everything to me
You're all I want, you're all I need
You calm the storms, and give me rest
Will you calm them now, and soothe my soul?
Somehow, you always have saved me, from the world
Can you save me now, from the world, and from myself?
If faith had a face, I think it'd look like mine
For I believe that this will soon end
That this absence of you will cease
That this spinning will finally stop
And I'll find that I wasn't lost for good, and neither were you
So, I'm waiting for tonight, I'm waiting for tomorrow
I'm waiting for you, to come and hold me, through the night
Even if it's only in my dreams...
