Wait, before you go
Open up your hands
I'll put on my clothes
Pretend that we're just friends
I don't want their eyes to shame me
I don't know their plans to blame me
Wait, before you leave
Give me one more kiss
Come, roll down my sleeve
Fill me full of bliss
I feel whole, my glass half empty
I feel warm, my blood still bleeding
Cause when you speak you take all my words
When I sleep your voice is still heard
Wait, before I go
Perpetuate your kiss
Take me off my throne
I don't want to be just friends
I know I have lots of problems
I know why you don't want to solve them
But when you speak you take all my words
When I sleep your voice is still heard
I can feel my gut sink
Like a ship with no buckets to bail
At the thought of no longer being on your mind
I can feel my heart stop
Like a ship with a sturdy anchor
At the loss of feeling for love
I can feel my eyes fall
Like a sailor who was kept awake for fear of war
At the temptation of not having to fulfill reality
I can feel my pillowcase
That soft, soft, warm pillowcase
It can never compare to the soft, warm body of a stranger
