roses died in dirty water held up by the vase
|
|
once a gift good-bye but now remind me to replace
|
|
hardened petals bang the dresser when they fall away
|
|
kiss me idle
|
|
|
kiss me without make-up, leave no marks upon my chest
|
|
kiss me for no other reason then to give your eyes a rest
|
|
kiss me slow and breathe me lifeless, let this all digest
|
|
kiss me idle
|
|
|
slowly, slowly, the longer it takes the better mistakes we end up stumbling on
|
|
|
i wouldn't want to leave upon your tongue a sour taste
|
|
leave it foiled and disappointed, wanted to be chased
|
|
a mouth that's open wide and speechless seems like such a waste
|
|
kiss me idle
|
|
|
one time lazy, another time dear, despite all your fears of outlasting my love
|
|
i can't afford the stubborn sleep on photographs of birthdays past
|
|
so close your eyes and catch your breath and i will wait right here
|
|
|
i tied my fingers to remind me to leave you every day
|
|
while my hair is growing white, the strings are turning gray
|
|
one by one they come undone until they fall away
|
|
kiss me idle kiss me idle
|
