Arlo's Lullaby

do you think about me at all?
or do you forget i exist?
i want to wrap myself around your body
or will you forsake me?

i don’t care about the olden years
just hold me now before i disappear

crimson cheeks, your widows peak
liars creep deep in my life
are you someone i should
hold in high esteem?
are you someone i should
hold at all?

unknown corridors snake into my night
i’ve been burned before but never this bright
as when you kissed me, then fled
are these the good times for which we speak
or is the blame all on me?
i’m still on the train, riding past where you live
i still scream your name you’re the only one who did

hold me before i disappeared
didn’t care about the olden years

you thought about me and i dreamt of you
