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 leave me lifeless, let this all digest

Kiss me idle

Slowly, slowly, the longer it takes the better mistakes we end up stumbling on

I wouldnt want to leave upon your tongue a sour taste

Leave it foiled and disappointed, wanting to be chased

A mouth thats 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 cant 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
