Epilogue

If I were you I'd walk away
In fact there's no guarantee that anything you do will help
But I'm not you, and I hope you'll stay
And together we can watch the days go by, you and I

So here I go, somewhere that I just don't know
And I can drunkenly describe to you a place where only I can hide
I'll just pretend that there ain't no end
And I can do my best to stop you but you pull my body towards the light
And you can hold me while I cry myself to sleep
And I'll surrender to the misery that slowly creeps
I'll use you as my landmark and your figure in the dark
Gives me some reassurance as I sink towards the bottom

You wait for me in repose
Oscar Wilde on my Wayfair mattress
Your tired eyes call me to bed
Oh my darling, how could I love you anymore than this

So here we go, somewhere that we both don't know
And I can't say for sure that I'll see you on the other side
We can just pretend that we have no end
And you can hold me again as the day fades into night
Or you can hold me while I cry myself to sleep
And I'll surrender to the misery that slowly creeps
I'll use you as my landmark and your figure in the dark
Gives me some reassurance as I sink towards the bottom

And so we'll go somewhere that we both don't know
And I can't say for sure but I hope we both come out alright
We don't have to pretend that we have an end
And we don't have to hide, we can turn to face towards the light
And we can embrace each other while we fall asleep
Surrender to the lovely things that we can't keep
And I'll use you as my spark, and when we burn and we both are gone
I'm glad we still took the time to fall in love
It took a long time to get here but you're all honey at the bottom
