Carry Me Upstairs

Its 9am, we slept right in
Warm hands trace down
the skin on my back
Your breath steady, slow on my neck

In that moment I know
There’s just something about you

I always thought that
Nothing good happens in the Middle of May
In your basement we’ll contain it
Make a promise you’ll stay

Saw past my guard up
Gave my heart up
In the middle of the day
At a picnic
Where you showed up
In the middle of May

The night before
Empty bottles on your floor
Being drunks my excuse
To inch a little closer to you

Wrap his careful arms around me
Carry me up the stairs
Bumped my head against the door

Don’t apologize anymore
Just stay
Happiness is a risk away

I always thought that
Nothing good happens in the Middle of May
In your basement we’ll contain it
Make a promise you’ll stay

Please,
Don’t apologize anymore
Just stay

Happiness is a risk away
