Gloom Haven

light outside but I hit snooze
ten more minutes of holding on to you
now your eyes close tight
you've been up all night

a heart lighter than a plume
golden scale on a grey afternoon
though you're not on trial
you feel down, it's alright

every, every, every night
I'll still, still lay my head in your clouds
still, when the world is so loud
it's you and me and one day a good pup

peeking into lavish homes
caught your smile in a stranger's window
we'll build a tall bookcase
try to stop killing our plants

recklessly lost in a dream of
our whole lives, must be the allergies
getting to my head
I meant every word I said

for many, many, many years
I'll still, still meet you on the dance floor
still laugh at your only joke
it's you and me and our old lazy pup

if we're lucky
I'll race you through the halls
of a retirement home
on those mobility scooters
we both said we'd rather die than own
but if it meant more time
I'd sure change my mind
