Hold On: Suffice to Waltz

Suffice to Waltz


Red
Heart-shaped balloons
All over the room
Hang down their ribbons
Just out of reach
Curled on the couch
Your head in my lap
Guess I’m forgiven
It still feels too soon

Wine makes it all feel all right
You pour me a glass
It looks like a –

Red
Tear-shaped balloon
Like memories resumed
Falling back up your cheek
Over yesterday’s strewn…
And I’ll play the fool
Who breaks his own rules
Trying to be something more
Then what you’ve assumed

Wine makes it all feel all right
Let’s dance in damp streets
It’s pouring inside
