if i told you i could dry your eyes forever
what would you say?
would it be clever
or just roll off your back?
i need another phone call to keep my mind away
from telling myself
that you're getting further away with passing hours
can't help but count the days
remembering the ways i would watch you sleep next to me
the warmth of your breathe on my chest
your arms wrapped around my neck
and it was always alright, if you couldn't stay the night
and it was always ok, if you could only stay for half an hour
columbus, ohio, seems so far away
