Goodnight

Memories are awful things
They fill you up until you sink
They’ve ruined every song you sang to me
In the park beside my house
After dark when stars are out
They’re still awake, I wish they’d let me sleep
Gather them together
And play them on repeat
Watching me come back to you come back to me
So goodnight
And I hope you spend it well
Out of sight
Out of mind
Keep your cold hands to yourself
And I’ll be fine
In a little while
Just not tonight
Summer lakes and middle names
Early morning Etta James
I wish they’d go, I wish they’d fade away
Walking back, it’s colder now
Holding hands and stars are out
I miss them but I’d like to go to sleep
Gather them together
And play them on repeat
Watching me abandon you abandon me
So goodnight
And I hope you spend it well
Out of sight
Out of mind
Keep your cold hands to yourself
And I’ll be fine
'Cause I’m leaving
I am leaving
I am leaving you
Say it out loud
Say it three times
And believe it
'Cause it’s true
So goodnight
And I hope you spend it well
Out of sight
Out of mind
Keep your cold hands to yourself
And I’ll be fine
In a little while
Just not tonight
I’m still stuck inside your dreams
And soon enough the phone will ring
But this time I don’t feel like answering
