If You'd Let Me

I just brushed my teeth

You know what that means

A mouth full of foam

And Im staring at me

Im singing in your voice

Ive been practicing

Hoping one day

To hear the real thing

And maybe, youd actually stand next to me

And spit on the back of my neck

While Im leaning, in the sink

And youd laugh at me while I kiss your cheek

If youd let me (regular)

If youd let me (falsetto)

Now we have a plan

You giggled in your hands

You try to convince me

That the sounds in the trees

And footsteps in the woods

Are monsters up to no good

Ill take first watch

If you promise youll sleep

Next to me, so I can learn your face

With my hand, just in case

We never meet again

At least Ill have this memory

If youd let me (hold out)

If youd let me (high)

Im working on the floor

Of our majestic tree fort

You know... The one where we live

Away from everyone else

If were gonna keep them out

We should find a taller tree

Move to the top

Where no one can see

Well need thicker walls

And permanent guard

But for now its your turn to watch

And its my turn to sleep

Then it hit me, this whole time Ive been asleep

And you, were never even

Next to me, it was just a dream

So Ill stay asleep and meet you in dreams

If youd let me
