Tonight it was your bedroom
Beside the corner office envying two lane
Underneath this imperfect breathing ceiling
You made me hate sleeping alone again

Again after years of forgetting how to sleep beside someone
Beside anyone
Giving it all up from loose ends and tight conversations

This is what it was
This is what it means
To give yourself to someone
For whatever they want

Tonight I held you because you wanted it
Maybe needed it
Maybe both
Tonight we were Fools and gave in to desire
