In between every "I love you"
I ask if you can hear me
But you're laughing with your eyes closed
And I'm hoping I at least fueled a happy dream
So I leave you there and I take to the streets
It's 3 AM and I can't sleep
It's been twenty years now and I don't know
What I'm doing, where I should go
Then I remember you're naked in my bed, too drunk to speak
And suddenly it feels so good to be twenty
In between all your "I'm sorry"s
I ask if you can see me
Your cross-eyes leading yourself to the bathroom
You slept through a party
Now I can see the party is in your dreams
I take off my jeans and crawl into the
The new sheets that you brought me
And the bed may be
Too small for me
But it wasn't when I was seven
Not with the sheets with the stars and the moonbeams
And with you so softly breathing I know
That you won't ever know
Squeeze you tight
Turn out the lights
And hope I dream about being in the stars with you
I'm still awake after a long birthday
Wonderin' who's gonna clean my apartment
And the bed may be
Too small for me
But it wasn't when I was seven
Not with the sheets with the stars and the moonbeams
And with you so softly dreaming I know
That you won't ever know
That the birthday you missed me blow out
Came true, I fell asleep next to you
