Stay here beside me
Stay a little while
Why fall asleep, darling?
I’m already dreaming
One hundred miles an hour, love
You’re spinning around in my head
And you can’t see yourself the way that I do
And you can’t understand just how much I love you
Don’t let go yet
Stay with me.
Don’t let go yet
Please don’t leave.
The moon is watching
You walk me to my door
Three words unspoken
I’ve never heard before
Can’t you hear the wolves howling against my heart
Can’t see the effect you have, I’m seeing stars
And I wish you could see yourself the way that I do
And I wish you could understand just how much I love you
Don’t let go yet
Stay with me.
Don’t let go yet
Please don’t leave.
I’m caught up in your smile
Caught up in your eyes
You’re written in the secrets
I write between these lines.
Don’t let go yet
Stay with me.
Don’t let go yet
Please don’t leave.
White Rose.
We sat and watched the hands tick over
Yours in mine, my fingers numb
If our teachers saw minute hands raze a city
Erasing me should take but one
And while the white rose in the glass may deceive and change
But never leave me,
You and your green eyes can only scream
In the desperate silence “Please believe me!”
And water on my lips you turned to wine
It’s all children laughing, pretending that they’re high
On table tops and vodka shots and
Education in the art of love and loss
When all I want is for your heart to belong to me.
All I want is for your heart to belong to me.
We kissed upon a bleak horizon
A kiss that swallowed up the cold
My blue scarf our tangled heart strings
And I try to find some hesitation in your hold
And while the white rose in the glass may deceive and change
But never leave me,
You and your green eyes can only scream
In the desperate silence “Please believe me!”
And water on my lips you turned to wine
The little girl, pretending that she is all fine
That she loves and trusts and builds and breaks
Until all that’s left is an empty ache
Is really neither yours to know or mine to share
Is really neither yours to know or mine to share
We spend so many nights crying in our sleep
Too many smashed up knees crashing to the floor
Friends holding friends of friends fixing breaks
They didn’t make, but you still haven’t walked out of the door
And while the white rose in the glass may deceive and change
But never leave me,
You and your green eyes can only scream
In the desperate silence “Please believe me!”
And water on my lips you’ve turned to wine
The greyscale scene of my day you’ve turned to Technicolor shine
With words inside my mouth full of ‘you and me’
A conquered heart and soul set free
Isn’t love everything that it’s supposed to be?
Isn’t love everything that it’s supposed to be?
