When you're drunk is the only time you seem to know me
You only love me when you’re lonely And tonight is just another one of those nights You'll call me up and I’ll be right by your side I’ll wrap my arms around you as you whisper my name Everything feels the same Then the morning comes, you are already gone With a note simply reading, “so long" I guess I’ll just see you the next time you see the bottom of a bottle or two In the meantime I’ll just finish off this bottle of you I’m so drunk on this love But you’re already sobering up You go on with a dandy ole smile I cry a river that embarrasses the Nile You act like these memories are nothing But for me these memories are the only things that I need to breath Without them I feel like I am suffocating Your silence in my life is so deafening So I run to the nearest liquor store and buy your favorite bottle And write a little note on the bottom “Call me when you can read this." I just want to get drunk and call you up
Talk about what could have been We can talk until we sober up Let’s spill out all the secrets That we’ve been holding on to Say everything we never did I’ll tell you how I love you You’ll tell me that you miss me I’ll say I want to hold you You’ll say you want to kiss me But we’re still miles away Speaking only through these empty bottles We’ll say it was just a drunken conversation Even though we both know That we were spilling out our sober thoughts Dumping everything that’s been drowning Our minds every night As we lie restless in our separate beds While we share connected thoughts Dreaming about a time where once again We can reconnect our severed souls For we both know we’ll never be whole again Unless I can feel you in my arms And you can wrap your soul back around me My bottles getting empty I reach for my phone and call you up And read this to you slowly I want to talk underneath the stars and watch the sun rise
Get lost in conversation while simultaneously getting lost in your eyes I want to hold you in my arms until we become one One mind, one body, one soul, under one sun I want to listen to your laugh until it echoes in the back of my mind For the rest of the night as we unwind Tell me everything that makes your soul tick And I'll tell you every way our souls click I want to pause my life in this moment But with you I don't want a single second stolen I want to experience everything that we can together The ups, the downs, anything that we could ever endeavor They say God created all the beauty, I think he used it all on you Whoever said perfection could never be reached obviously never laid his eyes on you You overflow with sexiness, it's oozing through your pores I want to see the whole world, so I just look in your eyes and get a world tour I feel my heart stop and skip a beat as your lips land upon mine As my sinful lips kiss your lips so divine I feel the world stop, I feel my blood rush I feel your heart beat, I feel our souls touch And in this moment only you and I exist In this one moment it's not just our lips that kissed But our minds that connected momentarily And our souls that intertwined everlastingly As the gods and angels rejoice from their heavenly seats All because our two sets of lips did meet In this singular moment that will ripple through eternity And if this moment ever stops I will be driven to insanity We are intertwined, we're one Without you I am none Without you I am done Without you there's no me Without you....I don't even want to think about a world without you I’m afraid of the silence
Afraid of what I might find when I explore my mind When the music goes mute and leaves me with nothing but my thoughts I am terrified I have spent years muting my feelings What have I hid away? What lives down in the deepest, darkest corner of my mind? Only the silence will reveal them Only the silence is quiet enough to hear their whispers Quiet enough for them to crawl into the light To be seen by me and only me As I sit alone in this empty room With just the sounds of the ghosts and creatures Crawling, reaching, striving to be seen I’m terrified Actually terrified What lives within me? What monsters have I hidden? What goes on in my mind when I can’t hear it? When I can’t see it? What is brewing in the darkness? What is speaking in the silence? |
