Intro

Verse 1

I dont care to know

The time on the wall

The placement of my

shoes on the wood floor

The last boat has left

Cant carry you afloat

I fear the empty wet bed

The empty grey coat

And i wont go till you're

asleep You open your mouth

Like an asthma attack you repeat

Refrain 1

"If all that

you take from

this is courage

then i've no regrets"

Chorus 1

I wanted to kiss

you goodnight

No longer can pretend

It wont cave in and

will be alright

I wanted to save

this last light

With dawn comes certainty

of what we'll be

For now hold me lightly

(For now hold me light)

Verse 2

I look to the floor

Your hair like cut

grass Your vomit

It forms a gold

chain round your neck

I wont make you up

No need for last words

These last idle hours

More than i desereve

Refrain 2

"you take from this is oh

courage than i've no regrets"

Chorus 2

I wanted to kiss

you goodnight

No longer can pretend

It wont cave in and

will be alright

I wanted to save

this last light

With dawn comes certainty

of what we'll be

For now hold me lightly

Bridge

Dont settle for less again

You've become more

Than i could have become for

you Could have inspired to be

Hesitation will leave dents

on the walls and the rail

And your scent will leave

x2

me with more faith in myself

Chorus 3

I wanted to kiss you goodnight

No longer can pretend

It wont cave in and

will be alright

Wanted to tell you i lied

I said i'd make it through this world

alright but i dont care to try

I'd make it through this

world but i dont care to try
