Keep Me Alive

from Summer Songs by Andrew Whipple

/

lyrics

I hope the world ends before the party does
'Cause I need time not to pass
Tequila and trampolines and burnout eyes
You know they saved the best for last
Maybe tomorrow the sun will start shining
But the dawn's still far enough away
Stay here in my arms in the darkness
No other world beyond the smile on your face

Pretend the mascara's not running
Regrets are for another day
Lets make the clock stop ticking
Let the lights fade away

Rings on your fingers and god on our tongues
I want the feel of your lips and the beat of the drums
No face in the mirror, no tears in your eyes
It's your hands in mine that'll keep me alive

Can you hear the music playing only one room off
Guitars crash in the midnight sound
Is this the kind of song you'd dance to all night
If you had another boy around?
But tonight there's no need for motion
Lets just watch the walls around us burn
Tell stories of Shakespeare and New York boys
Sit back and watch the world turn

Ignore any thoughts of tomorrow
Rest your head on my shoulders and stay
Just melt in my arms and let it go on
Would you want it any other way?
