Dreams

Sorry love
I know it's early in the morning
And I'm here unannounced
And my eyes all swollen
Never mind the blue lights
You know these nights
You know how these wolves bite
Would I be a bother
if I asked to come in
even just for a minute
some peroxide for my chin
I don't see the issue
Do you have work in the morning
I'll promise to be quiet
even though my heart rate is soaring
I didn't believe you
When you said this was the last time
I don't listen to direction
And you're not that hard to find
You see
I might be in danger
Can I use your restroom
Don't act like I'm a stranger
Your roommate was lying
That wasn't me last weekend
You know me better than that
Now, can you please just let me in
Don't shut the door
I need one more night
One more dance in your room
One more soul on this summer night
Do you hear the wolves outside?
They're scratching at the door
Do you hear the ghost of yourself?
When you were asking for more
The scratches on your face
The teeth on your necklace
The way you dance in my dreams
The way you look in that dress
The way you lost that weight
The way you moved back home
The way you call sometimes
When you feel alone
You looked like an actress
With those tear stains on your mattress
You think it could be tonight
That things could turn out right"
