Kiss You Goodnight

I don’t care to know the time on the wallThe placement of my shoes, on the wood floorThe last boat has left, can’t carry you afloatI fear the empty wet bed, the empty grey coat

And I won’t go till you’re asleepYou open your mouth like an asthma attackYou repeat, “If all that you take from this is, yeahCourage, then I’ve no regrets.”

I wanted to kiss you goodnight, no longer can pretendIt won’t cave in and will be alrightI wanted to save this last lightWith dawn comes certainty of what we’ll beFor now hold me lightly, for now hold me light

I look to the floor, your hair like cut grassYour vomit, it forms a gold chain ’round your neckI won’t wake you up, no need for last wordsThese last idle hours, more than I deserve“...You take from this is courage, then I’ve no regrets.”

I wanted to kiss you goodnight, no longer can pretendIt won’t cave in and will be alrightI wanted to save this last lightWith dawn comes certainty of what we’ll beFor now hold me light

Don’t settle for less again.You’ve become more thanI could have become for you.Could have inspired to be

Hesitation will leave dentsOn the walls and the railAnd your scent will leave meWith more faith in myself

I wanted to kiss you goodnight. No longer can pretendIt won’t cave in and will be alrightWanted to tell you I lied, I saidI’d make it through this world alright, but I don’t care to tryI’d make it through this world alright, but I don’t care to try.
