We've accrued the cost of smoking in the room Hundred bucks to be the love in 1963 I'd spend my health, to feel the same From 1000 miles away The potential in the empty terminal gate So quiet I can hear you breathing through the phone And the shifting of your fingers on the empty Chocolate candy paper You watched me from the window, I cried and drove away Like too many nights you lived on MLK You looked lonely, but in love Christmas lights around the frame Still believing in home but we both stayed I don't wanna let you go You sat crossed legged in the winds of Indiana Alone and on the hood of your silver Chevy Malibu We'd lay our heads The engine warm in the winter strokes of evening We'd let the pinks and purples wash the blues away Focus for a night on the only thing that we could hold I lay you down Touch the ocean of humanity before me Drink it in So tape my picture on the mirror slightly underneath the glass I won't bother if you look but once a day In how many houses will I hang before I kiss your hair again? Maybe soon, maybe never, but always know Oh, I don't wanna let you go
