I wish I could ask you to come in from the cold
put your coat on my couch, leave your shoes at
the door
because you don't have to go
you can let your hair down, I know you're tired
Have a smoke on my back porch in old wooden
chairs that creak when we move
I wish I could light candles on the railing
to chase the bugs away while
you bitch about your new boss because she's
got it out for you
but
I think I broke your heart before I had the
chance to even hold it
and I wanted to say I'm sorry
but I do wish I was a better man, or
that you could like someone like me
and it's not your fault
but I would open the door for you
and watch you kick your boots off on the rug
if I could
and
I'm always on the run
and I can't seem to figure out how to
be still
I can't really seem to figure out
anything
actually
but I wish I could ask you to come on in from
the cold
