Peonies

The first time that I saw color

It came pouring out all around her

If I could stand a little closer

I'd swallow it all

My memories play in slow motion

I call to you with eyes wide open

I follow you into the ocean

I'd swallow it all

It's been so long

Since I felt like I was your dog

Keep the lights on

I'll wait up

When you were young

So much I wanna save you from

It's not enough

It's not enough

I haven't gone to sleep

Since I seen you on the big screen

You sing just like an angel

Wild and so graceful

Now I keep counting sheep

Restless and unclean

I'd do anything you ask me to do

It's been so long

Since I felt like I was your dog

Keep the lights on

I'll wait up

When you were young

So much I wanna save you from

It's not enough

It's not enough
