Is it hot in here or is it just me
Words fly as a full blown laugh escapes from my mouth
Should have asked if the gun was loaded as...
A crack of lightning and I hit the floor
With the same cheshire grin that wouldn't leave my face
Up for hours and down for days drawing circles in this red clay
She had a way of saying my name could feel me losing my place in this storyline
Listening to her sleep was like warm milk on a winter night
Does she believe me cruel or is it just a defensive rues
She has me read a chapter out of the good book which i rewrite nightly
I am slain though I could not tell you why
I am vain to believe this were more than a dream
A path chosen never to be walked again
Why am i a piece in the puzzle of your life
A million miles a minute is the pace my mind has set
And a lifetime is the seperation between where i've been and where you are
I want to fill the water bottles that keep you warm at night
I want to give you my coat on your way to catch the train
If I were a braver man i could let you see inside my heart
But the boys who hold your attention now are where you need to be
Your indulgence is more than I deserve a smiling old fool lying at your feet
Goodnight sweet one you know you have my attention at each new moment
