Goodnight -

Memories are awful things

They fill you up until you sink

They’ve ruined every song you sang to me

In the park beside my house

After dark when stars are out

They’re still awake, I wish they’d let me sleep

Gather them together

And play them on repeat

Watching me come back to you come back to me

So goodnight

And I hope you spend it well

Out of sight

Out of mind

Keep your cold hands to yourself

And I’ll be fine

In a little while

Just not tonight

Summer lakes and middle names

Early morning Etta James

I wish they’d go, I wish they’d fade away

Walking back, it’s colder now

Holding hands and stars are out

I miss them but I’d like to go to sleep

Gather them together

And play them on repeat

Watching me abandon you abandon me

So goodnight

And I hope you spend it well

Out of sight

Out of mind

Keep your cold hands to yourself

And I’ll be fine

'Cause I’m leaving

I am leaving

I am leaving you

Say it out loud

Say it three times

And believe it

'Cause it’s true

So goodnight

And I hope you spend it well

Out of sight

Out of mind

Keep your cold hands to yourself

And I’ll be fine

In a little while

Just not tonight

I’m still stuck inside your dreams

And soon enough the phone will ring

But this time I don’t feel like answering
