Kiss Me Idle - The Verve Pipe
Roses died in dirty water held up by the vase
Once a gift good-bye
now remind me to replace
Hardened petals bang the dresser
when they fall away
Kiss me idle
Kiss me without make-up
leave no marks upon my chest
Kiss me for no other reason
then to give your eyes a rest
Kiss me slow and breathe me lifeless
let this all digest
Kiss me idle
Slowly slowly
the longer it takes
the better mistakes
We end up stumbling on
I wouldn't want to leave upon your tongue a sour taste
Leave it foiled and disappointed
wanted to be chased
A mouth that's open wide and speechless
seems like such a waste
Kiss me idle
One time lazy another time dear
Despite all your fears of outlasting my love
I can't afford the stubborn sleep
on photographs of birthdays past
So close your eyes and catch your breath
and I will wait right here
Tied my fingers to remind me to leave you every day
While my hair is growing white
the strings are turning gray
And one by one they come undone until they fall away
Kiss me idle
Kiss me idle
