Loophole
Here I am, back in the city where nobody sleeps
Lost in the throngs of those I’ve conjured up in the dream
Just as I’m rounding 2nd & 46th
Blue eyes are peering from behind the fence
Jumping from rooftop to rooftop and spreading my wings
I land on some moon and enjoy all that silence can bring
And just when, at last, I think that I am free
Red curls are peeking from a crater next to me
You always find a way into my dreams
No matter how I try to escape
I travel city to city, from planets to other planes
Yet you always find some way into my dreams
I’ve prided myself in my ability to control
Everything happens here because I make it so
But throughout it all I guess I should have known
Only you could be the one to find the loophole
The way into my dreams
Can’t count the times I’ve tried to escape
I still see you when I wake, and it haunts me throughout the day
‘Cos you’ll always find some way into my dreams
About the song
Huge Jeff Buckley influence on this one, if you couldn't tell. Also another Dark Tower reference: In the books, the corner of New York's 2nd & 46th is a place of indescribable beauty and majesty. By seeing the girl there in the song, it's almost as if the place has been sullied.
Grand scheme: Another song of lost love, yes, but a little more complex. A little more adult. The dent in the snowglobe is widening, the youthful innocence seeping through the cracks. Ready or not, here life comes.
