Up All Night

Just close your eyes
And count to five
Let’s craft the only thing we know into surprise

Set down your glass
I painted this
To look like you and me forever as we’re now

A hand upon my forehead 
The joke and then the laugh 
Waking up in your arms 
A place to call my own 

This is all I ever wanted from life.

I haven’t left here yet, but I’m trying
I’m still tied to the bed
Can you come here?
When you come, would you please bring a knife
And cure me down
Cause this is larger than life and I’m frightened
100 things you should have done in bed
But you never had the chance to try them
At least the dog has a smile on its face
I’m drained and I’m dry and I’m sore
It’s not that bad if she could be here all the time
It would kill me
I think I’ve been broken in two and I can’t scream
