Akrasia

wish i could stay
with you this way
and feel you next to me
as morning melts away
but in my mind
i know it's not time
so pour another glass
of sweet strawberry wine


cause when you're not around
it brings me down
everything i see
endears you more to me
and when tonight must end
i'll be gone again
to dream about the day
when nothing's in our way
and i can stay


you are my soul
my only goal
you are the missing pieces
you're what makes me whole
the afternoon
will come too soon
and tonight i'll wish
upon the silver moon


cause when you're not around
it brings me down
everything i see
endears you more to me
and when tonight must end
i'll be gone again
to dream about the day
when nothing's in our way
and i can stay


and i have memories
that i can hold on to
when we're apart
and i'll hold your picture
closer, ever, closer to my heart


(solo)


but i can wait
and contemplate
all the many things
behind our cottage gate
wish i could stay
with you this way
and feel you next to me
as morning melts away


cause when you're not around
it brings me down
everything i see
endears you more to me
and when tonight must end
i'll be gone again
to dream about the day
when nothing's in our way
and we can say
it's all okay
i dream about the day
when nothing's in our way
and i can stay
