Midnight Oil

Carry carry carrying my freedom in my hand
Put a put a put a candle on the stand
Drip a bit of wax and let the summer melt away
Burn the midnight oil to make the day last longer

Floating through with the breeze
Crowded mind
Summer slides away
Somewhat serpentine
Would it help if I said please
No

Your windows down and your feelings dim
I know she’s going soon but I never felt such doubt
You lived without her then, but you never felt her skin
Don’t close your eye at night
Don’t say goodnight just yet

Floating through with the breeze
Crowded mind
Summer slides away
Somewhat serpentine
She don’t want me to say please
No

Carry carry carrying the convo to AM
Little by the little thinking less about the end
Say it say again how all we are is friends
Burn the midnight oil but tell me nothing
Tell me nothing

Floating through with the breeze
Crowded mind
Summer slides away
But I’m just lucky to have mine
You put me at ease
We never slept anyway
And I would have it any other way
