Under the Covers
I want to be with you,
Under the covers once more,
Listening to the sound of robins sing
Amidst your calm breathing snore.
But you turned on the lights,
And we opened our eyes –
Nowhere to turn but piercing glares;
Truth falling from the skies.
I can’t write you to stay,
But I hope that you’ll know
I’m so caught up in you
And that was just water below.
So echo the porcelain floor,
And I’ll wait for your red light.
Just once more, I want to be
Under your covers tonight.
Maybe it’s time to let go.
Under the covers once more,
Listening to the sound of robins sing
Amidst your calm breathing snore.
But you turned on the lights,
And we opened our eyes –
Nowhere to turn but piercing glares;
Truth falling from the skies.
I can’t write you to stay,
But I hope that you’ll know
I’m so caught up in you
And that was just water below.
So echo the porcelain floor,
And I’ll wait for your red light.
Just once more, I want to be
Under your covers tonight.
Maybe it’s time to let go.
