You make me forget
When our fingers intertwine
Your lips erase
All my troubles when they touch mine
You make me forget
When you hold me in your arms
Your touch pushes
All the fears from my mind
You make me forget,
My dear,
And for that
I couldn't be happier

I have some trouble trying to sleep,
No matter how long I count sheep.
My brain was fried
And so I cried
Til my eyes finally shut.
The next night it's all the same.
I need some drugs to numb this pain.
My mind is gone,
It's been so long,
Since my eyes really shut.
I have some trouble trying to sleep
So off my balcony I'll leap.
My brain was fried
And so I died.
Now my eyes are finally shut.

I don't want roses
To celebrate,
Nor when you've done something wrong.
I don't want roses
As a token of love,
I'd rather a song.
I don't want roses,
They cost way too much.
I don't want roses
Because they create such a fuss.
I don't want roses,
They come with thorns.
I don't want roses,
They don't say enough.
I don't want roses,
I'd rather have weeds.
I don't want roses
My dear,
Your love is all I need.

Ever since you left
I only shoot up with memories of you
They're the only thing
That I have left of you
You have set your mind
On keeping my eyes
Always looking behind
Searching for you
Ever since you left
You haven't let me forget
That beautiful night
When our lips first met
You have set your heart
On making sure
That are always a part
Of this heart that beat for you
Ever since you left
I only shoot up with memories of you
They're the only thing
That keep me coming back to you
You have set your mind
On me searching
But never being able to find
Someone as good as you
And my dear
You've won

The sun's gone down
And the searchlights are off,
Cause I've found that
There's more to see in the dark.
So I'm siting at the bar,
Watching him take his shots.
I'm searching for love
But I've never been so far off.
I wish I knew his name,
But I don't have the courage to ask.
Maybe I'll find what I'm looking for
At the bottom of this glass.

He was beautiful
And terrifying,
All at the same time.
Like love itself
He was a foggy
Moment of clarity,
A beautiful contradiction.
Like love itself
He was a home
That sated wanderlust,
A completion.
Like love itself
He was both the fifth
And the whole,
Like a miracle.
He was love itself.

I dreamt about you last night,
While I lay in bed,
It was pure delight.
(I think I made you up inside my head)
Your beautiful eyes
Turned my cheeks bright red,
They could tell no lies.
(I think I made you up inside my head)
There are just so many things
That you left unsaid,
And so many unattached strings.
(I think I made you up inside my head)
I dreamt of you last night,
While I lay in bed,
And everything was right.
(I think I made you up inside my head)
