Please Be Here - The Loved Ones

Our shadows dance on the bedroom wall

If only this night could last a little longer

For now I’ll hold you close and pretend that I’m not leaving

I know your scars start to feel more sore

On nights like this where I can’t bear to face

The fact that I’m not sure which road makes sense to take

It’s clear to me that you’re the one

Who won’t tell lies or turn tail and run

I know you’re tired of feeling like we’re under the gun

Just hold on tight my lonely one

This isn’t quite what you bargained for

I know it stings to always prop up on someone whose own

Selfish heart seems to be the one that’s beating

But we would die if we just keep score

Just give me time I know it feels like you’ve put

Everything on hold but I swear I’ll make this right

Heaven knows I need you here

But hell’s stoking up my hopeless fear

Oh god please just give this purgatory a little rest
