Kiss You.

This song is for The Hold Steady and my friends. But this song is about her, and how I imagine it would be like right now if she'd been there last night. That makes it sound like it's a sad song, I think, but to me it's not. It's meant to be a really 'aww' song, if you know what I mean, which is something different.

We both woke up feeling fucked, still buzzed from the partying
But I don't think it matters cos for once I woke up smiling.
Lying on our sides like the ones that make 11's
Looking at each others faces like this was some kind of heaven.

The band was great last night you know, they made me feel alive again.
I was singing all the words and I was really in the action
Maybe it's the whiskey talking but it's my mouth making all the motions.
Last night I was screaming songs but now I'm softly phrasing passion

And all the while, just wanting to quietly kiss you and kiss you and kiss you and kiss you
Yeah all the time, I just want to kiss you.

And I know theres a lot of stuff stuck in our systems
A lot of reasons why neither of us really should listen
To the voices in each others ears telling us to give in
But we've got reasons to believe that this is not the voice of reason.

Let's let the afternoon come get us, let's see the light in through your blinds.
But lets stay in bed til then reliving last nights good times.
The music and the dancing and the drinking and the lights
The way I held you for the slow songs...

All the while just wanting to kiss you and kiss you and kiss you and kiss you
Yeah all the time, you know I just want to kiss you.

This is the first song I've been able to write in about a month, and it feels great.
