I’ve been wandering alone now
For what seems like far too long
Called in by the Sirens’ song
Lured in with all their lies
It took a while to realize
They told me all I want to hear
Seduced my ear
And left me empty
After following for miles,
Their tune fell flat
My legs grew heavy
My heart is hurt, now
Torn and sore
I’m so exhausted
Tried and tired
So please, won’t you be my rest?
I’d like to put my feet up with the best
And I can’t think of anyone I’d rather be with tonight
After nights of wandering blind
I think I’ve stumbled onto something
Worth my time
I need to find you,
Need to feel you,
Need to put you to the test
Need to know that you might be
The antidote to my disease
A humble, hurting heart to beat
To the same rhythm as mine
Melodious and intertwined
I have hopes for what could be
Fruitless hopes for you and me
Silly thoughts inside my head
Thoughts of lying in your bed
Side by side
Feet and fingers
Lips and skin
What a dream to draw me in
I have a curiosity
That only you can satisfy
Dire needs and desperate wants
My mind needs to be purified
But mostly I am tired now
And wary about what to do
Though mostly I only wish that
I could fall asleep with you

Won’t you be my solace?
The source of my tranquility?
There’s no place I would rather be
Than in your arms
And in your dreams
Such a silly thought, it seems
Don’t tell me it can never be
Just close your eyes
And rest with me
