Void Lyrics

Find another corner of the house
When you need to get away
A guitar leans against the couch
Sometimes I pick it up and play
Loosen and stretch its ancient strings
Until it sounds the way I feel
Brush my thumb against it soft
Give it life or give it pause

When you look up in my eyes
I'm looking down in yours
All looks good up in the sky
Down to your woolly carpet floor
And I know that I have picked
The most perfect sunflower yet
Even on a sketchy day
Just outside her shore we stay

When all its colours turn and dry
Will you live or will you die?
When all its poets fall away
Will you go or will you stay?

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red light cruising the night
Red light getting me home

Driving down the freeway in your truck
I watched the river flowing up
Headlights cutting through the night
Hear them pass this place in time
And I know that I have slept
In the warmest bedroom yet
Even on the coldest day
Here inside her shore we stay

A verse of hope
There on that reel
Lets you know the way I feel
Ram my fists up in your hair
Feel me cruise up in the air

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red light cruising the night
Red light getting me home

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red lights float in the night
Red lights getting me home

Fill the void in me now
Smile down on me girl
Red light cruising the night
Red lights getting me home

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red lights float in the night
Red light getting me home

Pull the weight of me now
Wrapped around me so good
Red light cruising the night
Red lights getting me home

Pull the weight off me now
Wrapped around me so good
Red light cruising the night
Red light getting me home

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red lights cruising the night
Red lights getting me home

This song, his voice, the tone of the music fill voids in sound. True story.

Great song. One of my absolute favorite declarations: "The guitar leans against the couch"

That is so vivid. When guitar players visit other places, the leaning guitar becomes the center of the room to them, even if it is in a corner of the house.

The thing I love about this song is the fact that I don't know if I should feel sad or happy when I hear it. I'm happy at how good it is, but I'm sad by his somber delivery. I'm happy at how accepting it feels, yet feel like his words mean he is devastated. A part of me feels like this song is trying to accept that he's attained second-best, but not his true love. He's trying to reconcile the fact that this girl is not actually the ideal pick for him, but he tries to make due and love her in the same way he loves the other. By the end, I feel like he's lost his sense of delusion and finally accepts that he's living a facade.
