keep your hands crossed on your knees, boy
whisper a lilac apology
like it mattered to me where you slept last night.
it's only fair, it's only fall
i'll meet you back behind the wall
with you the stars are always bright
and I am almost alright
keep your hands crossed on your knees, boy
sing a lamplight lullaby
like it matters to me where I sleep at night
like it matters to me if you are anywhere in sight
you've got no promises to keep
just go to sleep
keep your hands crossed on your knee, boy
whisper a lilac apology
like it matters to me where you slept last night
it’s only fair, it’s only fall
I’ll meet you back behind the wall
it’s only fair, it’s only fall
I’ll meet you back behind the wall
it’s only fair, it’s only fall
I’ll meet you back behind the wall
the stars are optimistically bright
and I am almost alright
keep your hands crossed on your knees, boy
sing a lamplight lullaby
like it matters to you where I sleep at night
like it matters to me if you are anywhere in sight
you’ve got no promises to keep to me
close your eyes, darling
close your eyes, darling
sleep easy
