Palpitations in Love

Late Nights

Fuck the AM
Let me sleep until noon
Then wash up and expunge phlegm
I want to see you under the moon

Reserve your wits for the night
When you'll need them most
With friends like these things just might
Take a turn left or happily coast

50/50 seems to be my odds of late
It'll work out or it'll fail
God damn I want to take that leap of faith
I'm sick of this air, it's grown stale

Repetitions of the afternoons
Interlaced with bitter old clutter
A recipe to drive me loons
At night I scream, during the day only mutter

These new thoughts take command
For all changes when the night shift clocks in
Changes for the better I think, very grand
Let the spools unravel and let it begin

A new journey is what I seek
To reignite the flames I lost
I feel sparks when I catch you peek
I hope it's worth the cost

Only one way to truly know
Stay up all night with me
Talking, laughing, falling slow
It's just my fabrication, let it be

Or fan the flames yourself
And risk being burned
For I light up quick against the better of my health
And some people can't handle the heat I've learned

Late night
One where I lay and think
When I write
Things pour out like a busted sink

It brings out the willing
It brings out the brave
I want something fulfilling
It's you I crave
