Silvering

No party left, no signs of life

Hair silvering in the streetlight

I'll walk you home, bid you goodnight

You've carved a space out in my mind

Everything I have I lose

You'll fall through my fingers too

Maybe I won't sell you on a lifetime

But maybe I can sell you on a moment

I know you know there's something here

Weren't even looking for it

Why am I the one to be kept in the dark

The world is pulling you from me, as ever

Only thing making these restless days better

Not playing the long game, just wanting a moment

To feel like part of a whole

Maybe you won't keep this for a lifetime

But maybe you can hold it for a moment

Let's hold on to this
