Bedtime Story

Take me out
Outside the house with you
Make me feel whole, or warm, or mildly amused
I can’t recall ever feeling love so true
Hold onto my hand, hold me close
I’ve got nothing to lose

The sad songs make me sadder
As they’re floating through the air
I just want to feel your love but I know it’s not fair
Would you bring me flowers and run your fingers through my hair?
Yeah, let’s turn the lights out, darling
I just couldn’t bear to sleep alone
To sleep alone

Your eyes exploding into me
With every little line
You think that you could be the one
You think that you could be mine
I can’t recall ever feeling love so fine
I feel it in the way you yearn
The way you long, the way you pine

Struggling to get out all the thoughts inside my head
But your puppy dog glances make me want to cry instead
I could keep you company in your town, in your bed
So let’s turn the lights out darling
I just wasn’t bred to sleep alone
