A Song About a Songwriter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wake up, still drunk from the night before
Sit up in bed with my still-banging head
And search for my clothes on your bedroom floor
I go downstairs in just my underwear
I see you jigging on the spot in my shirt and socks
And I can't help myself but stare
'Cause you're just perfect personified
Although I'll admit that I find your dancing slightly frightening
When I hold you from behind
Our fingers, they're made to intertwine
So when they do it's like lightening
When I'm dead and gone
And I don't think I've got long
I wanna feel your lips and your fingertips drawing hearts on my hips
Girl, I'm in love
And if you don't think that's enough
Then just for tonight let me hold you tight my darling
Whilst I've got you
You play dot-to-dot with my freckles and beauty spots
And I'll tell you to stop
But you say I wouldn't be me without them
And we've got our routines
Where it takes you long to eat than me
But it takes me about eight weeks to get my hair how I want it to be
I'll always laugh at your yawn
'Cause you know that I find it adorable
You get crinkles on your nose
And I'll absent-mindedly stroke your hair until you sleep
We'll live the dark until the sunlight shows
When I'm dead and gone
And I don't think I've got long
I wanna feel your breath running down my neck as you whisper to me: Boy
I belong here safe within your arms, dear
So just for tonight let me hold you tight my darling
Whilst I've got you
I've got you
So keep your head up
'Cause I don't want to see your makeup running away from me
And keep those eyes bright
And keep that smile shining like it's the last thing that I'll see
Before I'm dead and gone
And I don't think I've got long
I wanna feel your lips and your fingertips drawing all over my arms
Safe where you belong
So just for tonight let me hold you tight my darling
'Cause when I'm dead and gone
And I don't think I've got long
I wanna feel your breath running down my neck as you whisper to me: Boy
I'm in love and if you don't think that's enough
Then just for tonight let me hold you tight my darling
Whilst I've got you, you, you
I've got you
