play the anthem for good night just this once
wrap me round tight, kiss upon my forehead
and the only watching is the ceiling
perspective glasses set to “on” and now we can go
away from it all and those who wait for excuses
to brand us with labels they’ve tailored already

CHORUS:
it’s here and now in between the laughs
moments when i am nothing but a witness
it’s all the gaps of white that i can’t fill tonight
when victory means just being together
yes this is it. i was right. i won.

places stamped on my mind for we imprinted them
anxiety zoo, nervous sidewalk, joyful park
circles and loops can do no justice
we’ll manage to break them all
i can’t wait for the day when you’ll steal me
running off into the goodnight sunrise and never look back

CHORUS

throw out the text and we’ll make a whole new directory
redefining words that can’t be spelled or written
just let me crawl into you and a glad tenant i’ll be
just let me be the only one to cause that face
humming passion in the tasks
i’ll never finish that thought as long as you are

CHORUS
