Even If I Begged
Haven't slept in three days,
But neither have you.
Who cares about sleep,
When your dreams have come true?
Maybe if you stepped back,
And gave me the time of day,
I could show you songs and letters
That could steal your heart away.
But until you take that step,
And until I have my day,
I'll lay around and figure out
How to get you to stay.
Run your fingers through my hair,
Down my neck and trace my spine.
Wrap your arms around me,
Close your eyes and I'll close mine.
But neither have you.

Down my neck and trace my spine.

Close your eyes and I'll close mine.
