A Brief Shining Moment

Couldn't help my reaction
When you walked through the door
How it felt when I hugged you
It felt just like before
It was only a greeting
A quick pleasantry
But I can't shake the feeling
What it felt like to me

For a brief shining moment
The world was alright
For a brief shining moment
I regained my sight
It felt like a rescue
From this world all alone
For a brief shining moment
I thought you'd come home

You sat at a table
I tried not to stare
You were having a good time
I was glad you were there
But whenever I see you
It's the same every time
I still feel you inside me
I still wish you were mine

For a brief shining moment
The world was alright
For a brief shining moment
I regained my sight
It felt like a rescue
From this world all alone
For a brief shining moment
I thought you'd come home

That I made you feel useless
I can never defend
Getting lost in my own world
Left a scar that won't mend
Still I've longed for that moment
For that knock on my door
Though I know it won't happen
It's all I live for

Later that evening
I drove down your street
Just to whisper goodnight
Just to whisper sweet dreams
The car in your driveway
Wasn't telling a lie
So I took in the silence
And I whispered goodbye

For a brief shining moment
The world was alright
For a brief shining moment
I regained my sight
It felt like a rescue
From this world all alone
For a brief shining moment
I thought you'd come home

For a brief shining moment
I thought we were home
