Let's spend the afternoon in bed
With three bottles of wine
And love the day into the night
And forget we don't have time
Instead of parties, people, madness
Come on, let's just doze inside
Let's turn off the phones and be alone
And forget about our lives
So that when you're gone and far away
I can unearth you from my core
And remember afternoons in bed
And miss you all the more
Come on, let's spend the afternoon in bed
With three bottles of wine
And forget the edgy past we've shared
Those memories of mine
Let's forget the shame and awkwardness
How I bombarded you with love
All those drunken whore's confessions
Of how your name pounds in my blood
Come on, let's just take off all our clothes
And watch the sun set on the city
As we smoke through open windows
And pretend we're not too busy
To allow ourselves the pleasure
Of discovering each other's shapes
Colliding inch by inch
Until we've given all that we can take
And then, when it's the night
Let's get dressed and walk around
Let's go drinking till the sun comes up
And make this town our town
Let's go staggering through alleyways
Laughing into kisses
Throwing looks across these crowded bars
Like pennies thrown for wishes
