Meteor

If you could hold still for me, please — It won't take long, just need a minute And I'll be gone after that, I promise Just hear me out Could you make space for me, dear? Know I'm not a star asteroid or meteor But could we stay here & watch the stars till The light burns out? The night holds down I round the corner, seek you out Start a burner, I should call her But wait fuck, is that allowed The noise gets loud Theres no choice, don't be found Nobody ever sees me when we're in this part of town Better pick up all the pieces while you can't get off the ground So could you hold still for me, please — It won't take long, just need a minute And I'll be gone after that, I promise Just hear me out Could you make space for me, dear? Know I'm not a star asteroid or meteor But could we stay here & watch the stars til The light burns out? But don't look down We're barely done, we're too far out Can't explain but I've been thinking that We're not winning this round Don't get lost, don't get caught They say we're too unsound Swear they'll keep us safe But we've all seen the things they do to people like You and me They'll get rid of us eventually Tolerate us but behind the scenes So won't you take my hand and we'll ride it Out of the cosmos, we'll stop at the planets Promise I won't be the worst thing that's happened to you, so Hold still for me, please — It won't take long, just need a minute And I'll be gone after that, I promise Just hear me out Could you make space for me, dear? Know I'm not a star asteroid or meteor But could we stay here & watch the stars til The light burns out?
