Kiss Me Idle

Roses died in dirty water held up by the vase
Once a gift good-bye, now remind me to replace
Hardened petals bang the dresser when they fall away

Kiss me idle

Kiss me without make-up, leave no marks upon my chest
Kiss me for no other reason then to give your eyes a rest
Kiss me slow and breathe me lifeless, let this all digest

Kiss me idle

Slowly, slowly, the longer it takes, the better mistakes
We end up stumbling on

I wouldn't want to leave upon your tongue a sour taste
Leave it foiled and disappointed, wanted to be chased
A mouth that's open wide and speechless, seems like such a waste

Kiss me idle

One time lazy, another time dear
Despite all your fears of outlasting my love
I can't afford the stubborn sleep on photographs of birthdays past
So close your eyes and catch your breath and I will wait right here

Tied my fingers to remind me to leave you every day
While my hair is growing white, the strings are turning gray
And one by one they come undone until they fall away

Kiss me idle
Kiss me idle
