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
