just a moment

The air is cold in my lungs
clutching like an iron fist
You stood there in my driveway
Waiting for your welcome home kiss
The smell of you is left on my pillow
And I just don’t want you to go
But you come and go, in and out of my life
Like a shadow dancing in moonlight
Your bag so obsessive-complusively packed
Carries everything you’ll ever need
You try to convince me to stay with you
But the secrets of the night must stay silent
I listen to you talk and wonder if you lie
Just to get me into bed
I want to get you drunk one night
And ask you questions
Knowing I’ll get the truth
I’m not so sure I believe what you say
But the lies are fun to pretend
I’ll believe in you
If you can make me feel beautiful
Even for just a moment
