Dreams

Sorry love 
I know it's early in the morning 
And I'm here unannounced 
And my eyes all swollen 
 
Never mind the blue lights 
You know these nights 
You know how these wolves bite
 
Would I be a bother 
if I asked to come in 
even just for a minute  
some peroxide for my chin 
 
I don't see the issue 
Do you have work in the morning 
I'll promise to be quiet
even though my heart rate is soaring
 
I didn't believe you 
When you said this was the last time
I don't listen to direction
And you're not that hard to find
 
You see 
I might be in danger
Can I use your restroom
Don't act like I'm a stranger
 
Your roommate was lying
That wasn't me last weekend
You know me better than that
Now, can you please just let me in
 
Don't shut the door 
I need one more night 
One more dance in your room
One more soul on this summer night

Do you hear the wolves outside? 
They're scratching at the door
Do you hear the ghost of yourself? 
When you were asking for more 
 
The scratches on your face 
The teeth on your necklace 
The way you dance in my dreams
The way you look in that dress
 
The way you lost that weight 
The way you moved back home
The way you call sometimes 
When you feel alone
 
You looked like an actress
With those tear stains on your mattress

You think it could be tonight

That things could turn out right"
