lyrics

[for Ches]

You have a Cheshire Cat smile that lingers while the rest of you leaves, crossing my headlights and disappearing into the inky black night. I’d gladly drown thousands of times over in the oceans of your eyes, taking the endless gallons of blue into my lungs until they burst. But if your pen runs out of ink, well then, take some of mine. I just hope you don’t mind writing in red. When I’m by your side, I fear nothing. Only you. I wanted to declare war on that awful sadness that clings to your guts; to sew up all those pretty little holes you made in yourself so nothing more would fall out. But if you somehow lose your mind, crawl into my arms, well that’d be okay. Just whatever you do, don’t call me “baby.” Don’t call me “baby” whatever you do.
