Now Lay Us Down
I look at you, you look at me
We’re not the us we thought we’d be
The whisper of past plays out of tune
He loves, he loves me not in bloom
Too many pieces on the floor
Glued down for measure behind locked doors
Everything now is best left unsaid
Words on repeat, running ahead
Silence the mouth, overflowing the air
Dreaming, dreaming, as we dare
Now lay us down, for if we wake
We’ll always regret this long mistake
