the days are short,
and you hate that, i know;
but the nights are long enough.
we've got the stars always watching
over us, love.
come back to bed now, and
dream with me.
you're scared of fiery comets
that might break through your dam
of so-called indestructible steel.
but you don't know that rains will
wash away all the world
one day,
anyways.
so let down your hair, love, and come
dance in my dreams. i'll hold your hand and
we'll walk through the tall grasses
together
beneath a setting sun.
that way, even if everything fades,
i'll still be by your side.
if you'd rather sit in your chair next
to the window
and reminisce about the past, and mourn
for what you've lost;
then, well, i don't understand why
you brought me through
in the first place.
open your eyes, love, and follow me.
i'll show you the way home.
let the world fade around us, and let
everything drift away.
i'll paint you stars and you can hang them
wherever you want; we'll make
new constellations, and
i'll name all of them after you.
climb on my shoulders and i promise
you'll touch the sky - you'll feel the clouds
fly through your fingertips,
feel the moon's calloused skin
against your own.
we'll build a home with
broken vows, fallen stars, lost hearts, and bottled tears;
and you can write me a song later
[ that i'll sing from the top of the world
so that everyone knows
we live ]
but for now,
just come to bed, love, and
dream with me,
and let everything else
fade away.
