Pet Names

Dangled from a constellation
I was a plaything for the strings of fate
I cut loose, and then became a nonbeliever
But then I saw you up there, standing right above me
Blue eyes, I’m almost ready
To tear my heart out, but you won’t let me
Your words are soothing inside my ear
Oh arctic blue eyes, I need you here
Resurrect the schoolboy in me
Just leave out all the rage
I used to sing my heart my out through an open wound, and always
Romanticized unhealthy feelings
The air is perfumed from where you left it
Like a ghost you linger with me
Tell your boyfriend you ain’t coming home tonight
Let’s wake up together… we can figure it out then
Blue eyes, I’m almost ready
To tear my heart out, but you won’t let me
Your words are soothing inside my ear
Oh arctic blue eyes, I need you here
Don’t you think that it’s a shame, we only know each other by pet names
By pet names, like pretty baby
By pet names…
Sunshine, I’m almost ready
To pull the shades down, but you won’t let me
You said that darkness would never suit me
But is it worse than being so lonely?
Oh precious blue eyes
Your trail of teardrops
Will lead me to you
If they don’t dry up
Don’t you think that it’s a shame
Even though we feel the same
We only know each other by pet names
By pet names
