Lyrics A Static Lullaby

A Static Lullaby

Static Slumber Party

Stay and fill me up with something else

You’re all that’s left

And I’ll be picking up the pieces of our past

Like broken glass

Affection ruptures lonely nights

But I’ve always been the last in line

For romance

Captive among lonely hearts

Are all we are

Captive behind broken hearts

Are all we are

So lovely can I stay the night (can I stay, can I stay)

And baby if I said that I’ll be back tomorrow

This might be a bit shy from the truth (from the truth)

As lonely as the days that we begin to follow

Somehow we become those walls we build, somehow

Somehow we lose the urge to feel

Somehow I’ve become, I’ve become, I’ve become the lesser man

We become products of ourselves

Slave to despair

Despair to aspire

A real lovers love

The profound beating of this chest

A poetic type of touch

That reminds us who we are

The feeling, the rhyming rhythm

Recalling wounded thoughts

Still seeming a little tempted

To set these sheets aflame

As your eyes close

So lovely can I stay the night (can I stay, can I stay)

And baby if I said that I’ll be back tomorrow

This might be a bit shy from the truth (from the truth)

As lonely as the days that we begin to follow

He finds that (that), that it’s worth more (more)

As he’s slipping out, out the back door

(2x)

So lovely can I stay the night (can I stay, can I stay)

And baby if I said that I’ll be back tomorrow

This might be a bit shy from the truth (from the truth)

As lonely as the days that we begin to follow

So lovely can I stay the night (can I stay, can I stay)

And baby if I said that I’ll be back tomorrow (can I stay)

This might be a bit shy from the truth (from the truth) (can I stay)

As lonely as the days that we begin to follow (can I stay)

So lovely can I stay the night (can I stay, can I stay)
