Kiss Me Idle

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 breathe 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
