IF I MAY Lyrics

Dog's nails tap the kitchen floor

Eddies of laughter swirl through the barred door
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters

If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight

Outside is a garden of buildings
Inside she's stares at herself in the mirror
Mesmerized by the light in her blue-green eyes
She smokes and sings along with the radio

If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight

Dog's teeth click
Headlights slide down the walls
While sleep makes me a deal I cannot refuse
I think of your absence, your sharp jaw
The way your collarbone surfaces under your skin

If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
