Let's just lay, wait for the sheets to cool down
they always start out covering us but end up protecting the ground
As we get closer, not even a whisper could squeeze itself between
We still try, intertwine and unwind at the same time.
This bed became an island - can you hear the waves?
You hear everything I don't have to say
Our own island plush with pillows and lush with love,
so healthily happy alive and glowing at your side
Early light reflecting off white linen sands at our feet,
wish there was more of me to occupy more of you.
-
Close your eyes, pretend we don't notice the ship that's come to take us home.
*sigh*
Supposedly, it will return us safely to safety,
and back to the world that we left in the first place!
