Sheets With Stars

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
