I tried to tell you on a Monday
in heavy air with heavy eyes
Thought too long and lost the daylight
in a bet against time
It was foolish, I don't mind
You sit too small in my hands
as if my grip could hurt you
and that I couldn't keep you
Wednesday I tried to speak out everything
thought the words might slow your wings
so I kept it hidden in my sleeves
and sealed tight
I don't want to send you off
at least not tonight
in heavy air with heavy eyes
Thought too long and lost the daylight
in a bet against time
It was foolish, I don't mind
You sit too small in my hands
as if my grip could hurt you
and that I couldn't keep you
Wednesday I tried to speak out everything
thought the words might slow your wings
so I kept it hidden in my sleeves
and sealed tight
I don't want to send you off
at least not tonight
