Grant Me This Restless Night

Allow me to leave, alone and hoping

For you to bridge that final gap

That this silence so foreboding

Means you take that one final step

I was yours already, weeks ago

And you chose patience, full aware

That I had none right from the get go

You understood my silent glare

You play with me, we both know where

This road eventually will end

And yet for weeks we’re getting nowhere

Still I fall asleep all spent

I crave this disappointment slight

Like the air full of cold smoke

After regrettable long nights

Relive all the words we spoke

So please, just grant me this one last

Early end to a long flirt

Make me walk home, alone in shivers

Chilly air under my skirt
