OUR NIGHTS
You’d come over around nine
And we’d spend most the night
Talking and kissing and laughing
And before I’d lay my head
On my now unmade bed
I’d drive you back to your apartment
How I miss those days
And daydream the ways
I’d rush to you to relive those moments
But you moved far away
And I never thought to say
I want you and I might need you
I want you and I might need you
If only you were sticking around
I looked into your eyes
How they’d shine in the night
And they gave me back more than reflection
Then you’d smile so bright
As you held me so tight
And the scent of you would linger there after
How I miss those nights
When you’d lay by my side
And time would leave us in the moment
Then you moved far away
And I never thought to say
I want you and I might need you
I want you and I might need you
If only you were sticking around
I don’t have the courage to say
That I want you to stay
So instead I’ll just think of you often
And spend the nights in my bed
Replaying our nights in my head
When I’m done… I’ll just dream of you ‘til morning
