It stares me in the face
Most of the moments of all these days.
I'm sore from stretching out these arms,
Trying to grab it by the neck and bring it home.

I hesitate for a moment, and it's gone.

I'd trade in all these possessions
Just to be that complete.
Would you stay with me here my lovely
If all I had was me?

It slaps me in the face
Until the surface of my skin grows numb.
I'm tired of the lack of embrace.
Could you please take me home?

I stumble over these nightmares, and it's gone.

I'd trade in all these possessions
Just to be that complete.
Would you stay with me here my lovely
If all I had was me?

I pause to silence these thoughts
And cool the surface of this skin.
I hesitate for a moment, and it's gone.

I'd trade in all these possessions
Just to be that complete.
Would you wait with me here my lovely
If all I had was me?
