Baby, baby.
Don't look at me like you do and tell me
You're telling me?
Don't tell me you can't feel-
baby.
What are you saying? You're tripping over your own
thoughts like you don't even know they're there.
Is your mind really that dark?
Come here, come and sit by the candle with me.
Let's watch the light.
Hold my hand. I'll hold you.
I'll hold you til you don't remember my arms are there.
I'll hold you til they fall asleep,
until all the nerves cut off and I can't feel my fingertips
anymore and all my blood is being held hostage by gravity.
Baby don't pull away.
Just let me hold you, in the light now.
There,
Just like that.

Oh baby I love you.
