Go and Stay: Lanterne Extension
Go
Please stay
Press palms close
I am unmade
Later I will run
I think he won't leave me
I’m ensnared in our tango
Fire dances ‘til phoenix rises
I'm here for now, so take me slowly
This morning will come with or without you
I am an inherently selfish creature
So stay with me and press palms close ‘til I’m unmade
Make me want to run but ensnare me in our sheets
Morning rises and fire dances but I’m reborn in you
I don’t want to leave you to wake up alone but I’m going
Stay
