Please Hold Me

May 23, 2007

Can we trade roles?
For just one night
Where you hold me
And I turn out the light

When buildings become
Too tall for a single bound
And the days events
Leave me tightly wound

Would you please hold me?
Like it was our last night

Can we trade roles?
Just this one time
You whisper in my ear
Slow my racing mind

When you look in my eyes
And all you see is hurt
All that I own
Is what your touch is worth

Will you please hold me?
Like I’m the last person on earth

Can we trade roles?
I know you’re up to it
Tell me to lay my head
Upon your lap where you sit

When I want to stay grounded
I lay flat against the floor
Look at your pretty face
And ask for nothing more

Will you please hold me?
Like the time you did before
