​
Take one of these and
​
call me tomorrow
​
lay down and rest
​
close your eyes.
​
I want to see you
​
get better, get healthy
​
get lots of sleep --
​
at least, try.
​
There’s no other way out
just let the time pass
​
stay down, babe, you said just stay down.
​
But I want to give in
​
to the rain soaking my
​
clothes to lights awake all
night
​
above town.
​
So when you’re sleeping deeply
​
I’ll put on a jacket
​
and make my way to the backyard. I’ll roll both
of my sleeves up and tell you everything
I’ll let you see each of my scars.
