Responsibility

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume

Gods and years will rise and fall
And there's always something more
Lost in talk I waste my time
It's all been said before
Further down, behind the masquerade
The tears are there
I don't ask for all that much
That you'd want someone too

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Come on out beneath the shining sun
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Sneak on out beneath the stars' moon

It's king for queen and we must go down
Beyond the chandelier
Where I won't have to speak my mind
And you won't have to hear
Shreds of news and afterthoughts
And those complicated scenes
Will weather down behind the light
And fade like magazine leaves

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Let me see you smiling back at me
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Hold me tight and love and love is free
And evermore and well, well, well again

Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Let me see you smiling back at me
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume
