Lillian

Let’s play hangman forever

And I’ll make you

Guess “December”

We’ll pretend that Christmas lights shine

And we’re not kissing under

The exit sign

Holding you is already goodbye

I can’t draw stars

On our midnight sky

So wrap me up in your arms

While we wait for

The fire alarm

Where’s the light switch in this room?

I need to be

In the dark with you

Just to see the exit sign glow red

And the round clock

Wish us dead

All these orange bottles in a line

I’ll take a few

Then I’ll be fine

I’ll put my last breath into this song

Come closer, love

Prove me wrong

Seventeen, why do I think like this?

Like a teardrop

A mascara drip

Never enough to make our eyes strong

Wish we’d known that

All along

I’ll teach you telephone and SOS

Let me win

So we can rest

We can sit on this empty stage forever

And play hangman

All December
