Intro
Verse 1
I dont care to know
The time on the wall
The placement of my
shoes on the wood floor
The last boat has left
Cant carry you afloat
I fear the empty wet bed
The empty grey coat
And i wont go till you're
asleep You open your mouth
Like an asthma attack you repeat
Refrain 1
"If all that
you take from
this is courage
then i've no regrets"
Chorus 1
I wanted to kiss
you goodnight
No longer can pretend
It wont cave in and
will be alright
I wanted to save
this last light
With dawn comes certainty
of what we'll be
For now hold me lightly
(For now hold me light)
Verse 2
I look to the floor
Your hair like cut
grass Your vomit
It forms a gold
chain round your neck
I wont make you up
No need for last words
These last idle hours
More than i desereve
Refrain 2
"you take from this is oh
courage than i've no regrets"
Chorus 2
I wanted to kiss
you goodnight
No longer can pretend
It wont cave in and
will be alright
I wanted to save
this last light
With dawn comes certainty
of what we'll be
For now hold me lightly
Bridge
Dont settle for less again
You've become more
Than i could have become for
you Could have inspired to be
Hesitation will leave dents
on the walls and the rail
And your scent will leave
x2
me with more faith in myself
Chorus 3
I wanted to kiss you goodnight
No longer can pretend
It wont cave in and
will be alright
Wanted to tell you i lied
I said i'd make it through this world
alright but i dont care to try
I'd make it through this
world but i dont care to try
