leave with the sparrows

take my arm and
we'll dance to this song,
and pretend to sing along,
the night sky passes by without a glance.
you know we're two easy targets.

we walk down the street, without a care in the world,
we wont act our age, or be who we are,
with the skyline to our right and the frightened ruins to our left,
yeah, we take our business to the streets.
lay on the ground and watch the sky roll by,
as the stars fall in our eyes.

i haven't felt these butterflies in quite some time,
they rearrange and take control.
im not usually a nervous girl but
the contents of my head are all over the floor,
watch your step, i might break.

i wish i could feel your heart beat through your chest
and to hear the way it ticks with every note,
like a cold november night, i wait.

we both still have our demons,
like the devil follows me around
just because he's lonely.
so i'll pull down the moon, just so you can see,
that we're not alone.
take it down, to guide you from there to here.
and with my back against the wall
i'll kiss you like i want you to kiss me.
