Walk You Home

You said you don't believe in regrets
But I regret to inform her that I do
Rainfall on a tin roof, inside I sit and scribble a Haiku
On the napkin that came inside of our takeaway Thai food
It goes: "Our time is always, our season was all year round
But this was our secret" for as long as we could keep it
The deepest of secrets that nobody knows
Root to the root, and bud to the bud and so it goes

And the lyrics of a 1000 songs couldn't paint her picture
So beautiful, she had me from my first conversation with her
See well, nobody was ever as clever
And I still can't figure how they put her together
In the room where we first got lost in one another
Just tripping off the feeling' that together we'd discovered
And I'm reminiscing on days past, escaping to Pearl
From taking that whole and making it two halves

But it was scary to be even this close to a perfect fit
Close your eyes, and I promise that this won't hurt a bit
This is the kind of love that inspires the stuff I write my poems to
The kind of love you have to leave, just to come home to

When you play with fire and you get burnt
For all the things that I have learnt
Cause I would love to walk you home
And if not the one, then you're the first
For all the things that I have learnt
Cause I would love to be
The one to walk you home
See I would love to be the one

And ain't it funny
That the ones you drag all the way through your hell
Are the same who can teach you how to touch heaven as well
And it's out of order but well we oughta know
That you try to fit a square between a circle and its flawed
And it's gone now, you didn't even know it was there
But you'd get lost tryna navigate the moments we share
Like when we held each other's hands and we said goodbye
Tears streaming down our eyes like somebody had died
Now it's the day after your birthday and it's pouring outside
And I'm catching arrow tips with my fingers down the phone line
See, she broke my heart on the river
And the trump played last it gets the job done quicker
So I'm singing to my palindromic angels, I held her too tightly
Wings got broken and the love got strangled, but
I don't wanna hold you back, girl, go fly
Don't keep yourself, from the corners of the sky
But I'm hoping you are close by on the day that I leave
This world with hands held, and we can close our eyes
And we'll let the second hand go by
Cause I wouldn't wanna not say goodbye
Let you know that you touched my life
And whether I like it or not, I think a part of me will never give up in this fight
Cause there's nothing like you and I
There was nothing like you and I
But it's getting late in this game now, with outcomes uncertain
These are things that I needed to say before the curtain
So I wrote you this song that you deserve to let you know
You will always be my first and most wonderful love

When we play with fire and you get burnt
For all the things that I have learnt
Cause I would love to walk you home
And if not the one, then you're the first
For all the things that I have learnt
Cause I would love to be
The one to walk you home

Said I would love to be
The one to walk you home
To be the one to
Said I would love to be
The one to walk you home
To be the one to
To be the one to
To be the one to
To be the one to
To be the one to
To be the one to
To be the one to
To be the one to walk you home
Can I walk you home?
