we stayed out late on summer's best night
we hid away from the policeman's flashlight
heart beats fast when the moon is full
you whispered that I was beautiful
your hands were soft but they did not miss
I can tell you now that it felt like this
a pretty poem on a page
a frightened rabbit in a cage
a rookie actor on the stage
a caliber we cannot gauge
but it doesn't seem like I read these things right
and not before my hopes reach great heights
when I think back to a time and place
when you pushed the hair away from my face
it all seemed serene, it felt like home
now I wait for you and I stay alone
I thought you knew
I should have known
just go home
your frame on top of me, your hands beneath my clothes
I tremble, lose my breath, my words become froze
just go home
glass bottles, flower petals left where we lay
you got this far, why would you wanna stay
just go home
and do you check the water, honey, or do you just dive
plenty of fish in the sea are ready to eat you alive
so let's just kill the nerves, another drink of wine
inhale, exhale, take my time
I take my time, inhale, exhale
everything will be fine, inhale, exhale
and when I say it's alright
honey, it's alright
just go home
I thought you knew
I should have known
just go home
