Roses dead in dirty water held up by the vase



Once a gift good-bye but now remind me to replace



Hardened petals bang the dresser when they fall away



Kiss me idle





Kiss me without make-up, leave no marks upon my chest



Kiss me for no other reason then to give your eyes a rest



Kiss me slow and leave me lifeless, let this all digest



Kiss me idle





Slowly, slowly, the longer it takes the better mistakes we end up stumbling on





I wouldn't want to leave upon your tongue a sour taste



Leave it foiled and disappointed, wanting to be chased



A mouth that's open wide and speechless seems like such a waste



Kiss me idle





One time lazy, another time dear, despite all your fears of outlasting my love



I can't afford the stubborn sleep on photographs of birthdays past



So close your eyes and catch your breath and i will wait right here





I tied my fingers to remind me to leave you every day



While my hair is growing white, the strings are turning gray



One by one they come undone until they fall away



Kiss me idle kiss me idle
