Skinny Love
Love, so dangerous an idea
I float on it
I wrote on it
I dote on it
Romantic in my head
Sugar in my bed
Making my skin red
As I toss and turn
If you stayed the night
I’d make it so sweet
Heart skip a beat
That kind of heat
The sweat of the day
Mixing as we lay
Keep your feelings at bay
Jewelry on the side table
Drawing circles on your skin
Nothing fancy here
Just empty bottles of beer
While I rummage through my fear
Trust, you don’t want to see
Everything I think of me
Everything I think we could be
When the sun comes up
Coffee or tea?
It’s delicate timing this
Not just memories of a kiss
I let the kettle hiss
Watching the air steam
Milk or cream?
Your stare is a dream
I can revel in
You ask me to lay back down
So tempted to ask for more
My soul you already tore
Our clothes on the wooden floor
Holding me with the power of sleep
All my plans I’m driven to keep
Outside the clouds begin to weep
And I’m staying like this forever
