if i told you i could dry your eyes forever   what would you say?   would it be clever   or just roll off your back?   i need another phone call to keep my mind away   from telling myself    that you're getting further away with passing hours   can't help but count the days   remembering the ways i would watch you sleep next to me   the warmth of your breathe on my chest   your arms wrapped around my neck   and it was always alright, if you couldn't stay the night   and it was always ok, if you could only stay for half an hour   columbus, ohio, seems so far away
