I Lay Beside You

I Lay Beside You

Saturday, December 30th, 2017, 12:00 am · by @bradfornow · in Words

I lay beside you, holding your hand in that twilight of touch before sleep
That slippery sleep
Beneath my hand I feel the rise and fall of your breathing
And I change my breathing to match yours
Inhaling and exhaling with you
Adrift in our sea
Rising and falling together
We are a wave, moving across the night
Finding our way to secret shores

If I felt your heartbeat, could I match mine to yours?
And beat as one heart?
One breath, one heart
In this way, I want to dream
With you, as one
Floating on into the endless tide

Holidays

by THE LONELY WILD

Get yourself together
Prepare for bad weather
Holidays are coming
To rip your heart open.

I’ll be in the kitchen
Fixing up a drink. Go
Put your face on
Pretend nothing’s wrong

Did you get just what you wanted?
Every year is haunted
With failure and promise
Keeping us honest

Go get yourself together
Prepare for bad weather
Holidays are coming
To rip your heart open

Just don’t freak out
Just don’t let me down

Feel the days falling
Early in the morning
Hide under the covers
Until you hear the fireworks

People start singing
Sleigh bells keep drinking
Miracles are waiting
To be found in the gutter

The myth, it hangs on us
Holding the promise
That you don’t have to worry
love is gonna conquer

Go get yourself together
Prepare for bad weather
Holidays are coming
To rip your heart open

Just don’t freak out
Just don’t let me down
