If we do not kiss goodnight a goodnight
Then it will not know what name to come to when called so sweetly again.
Do so, keep in mind to call
If the night was good

Simply the one who could not become what you wanted
So I became the next best thing
Here I am.

There is happiness found within simplicity
Yet, we deny it so simply.
We need food,
So we get jobs, so we can pay bills, so we
pay to eat food under someone else's roof
because where your standing when you read this
is owned.
Makes perfect sense
Times again I wish I was a kid

Socks off, shoes thrown away.
No more days away from my kingdom
That where I lay my head may you take
That where I lay my head pray you take
The king has come to tire.
I tire of peasant with swollen foot
Landlord troubles
Beggars of sought
I wish to make kings from the low
I wish to christen each a man of himself
Now please, leave your servant to rest

Tap, tap.
So began the drum of our feet, our eyes meet,
so began the voiceless lingo, 
 your eyes dart to the floor and I,
your eyes dart between the seat and I,
but you see,
I,
am already out the door,
here you came,
I waited.
Just because I could tell,
You enjoy a good chase

There's nothing more we can sell our bodies for
Nothing that we have been taught our inadequacy can compensate for
That the slugger is just a slugger, a boy who hits a ball hard
The only thing he's got going for him is his ability at swinging a bat
And so here lies my problem.
How do you explain
Explain to a 12 year old boy that we aren't what we used to be.
That the go getting, hard ***, approach died
How do you explain to someone,
its not over before it began,
try again
How do you look in the eyes of a child and say
I'm sorry

And so what is to conscious thought if we were to share a few words between you and I.
And if those words were to treat upon our curiosities then where would we lead.
Would you mind if I took you there?
To a moment in time
To a distance here nor there?
If I were to take you to now,
the blissful dance on moonlit boards
The dying embers of a passion so bright
The moments that gave you liberty to die
The seconds that showed you mercy to live
At the moment when all was wrong
that all it took was a kiss
"Come tomorrow, it'll still be us against the world."
come tomorrow, one of two wasn't there
To the moment in time
When curiosity grants us one more chance
now,
How would you feel being here as we are now.
If you where to answer the question no,
Would you be the same,
Or kiss the hand that gave you a second chance.
