Ultimatum

I’ve been scheming
while you’ve been sleeping
We’ve been holding
these hearts we’ve stolen
Questions answered
and voids we’re filling
the rising of eyes
and the sadness we’re killing
Just spend the night
even though this damn room
Will spin towards the light
and tomorrow too soon

You be the saint
and I’ll be the savior
Then reverse
and return the favor
Cast your old clothes into the fire
Damned by lost friends
But warmed by desire
The only restraint
is my arm round your side
Pulling you towards me
for one more night

In this bar, I’m teasing
your accent kicks, my eyes just start
my hands just fit around this glass
we take it slow and make it last
And the eyes come up as we laugh and laugh

You’ve been calling,
and I’ve been holding
we’ve been betting
that they start folding
I’ve been traveling
and you’ve been waiting
for the calming of nerves
the anticipating
the landing of planes
and the pull of the gate
the closer I get
the more it seems like fate
And later on when the light starts streaming
You’re still sleeping but I’ve been dreaming
You’re still sleeping but I’ve been dreaming
You’re still sleeping but I’ve been dreaming
Dreaming…
