Walk You Home - Ziggy Alberts, Horrorshow

You said you don’t believe in regrets

But I regret to inform her that I do

Rainfall on a tin roof, inside I sit and scribble a Haiku

On the napkin that came inside of our takeaway Thai food

It goes: «Our time is always, our season was all year round

But this was our secret"for as long as we could keep it

The deepest of secrets that nobody knows

The root to the root, the bud to the bud and so it goes

And the lyrics of a 1000 songs couldn’t paint her picture

So beautiful, she had me from my first conversation with her

See well, nobody was ever as clever

And I still can’t figure how they put her together

In the room where we first got lost in one another

Just trippin' off the feeling' that together we’d discovered

And I’m reminiscing on days past, escaping to Pearl

Before taking that whole and making it two halves

But it was scary to be even this close to a perfect fit

Close your eyes, and I promise that this won’t hurt a bit

This is the kind of love that inspires the stuff I write my poems to

The kind of love you have to leave, just to come home to

When you play with fire and you get burnt

For all the things that I have learnt

Cause I would love to walk you home

And if not the one, then you’re the first

For all the things that I have learnt

Cause I would love to be

The one to walk you home

See I would love to be the one

And ain’t it funny

That the ones you drag all the way through your hell

Are the same who can teach you how to touch heaven as well

And it’s out of order but well we oughta know

That you try to fit a square between a circle and its flawed

And it’s gone now, you didn’t even know it was there

But you’d get lost tryna navigate the moments we share

Like when we held each other’s hands and we said goodbye

Tears streaming down our eyes like somebody had died

Now it’s the day after your birthday and it’s pouring outside

And I’m catching arrow tips with my fingers down the phone line

See, she broke my heart on the river

And the trump played last it gets the job done quicker

So I’m singing to my palindromic angels, I held her too tightly

Wings got broken and the love got strangled, but

I don’t wanna hold you back, girl, go fly

Don’t keep yourself, from the corners of the sky

But I’m hoping you are close by on the day that I leave

This world with hands held, and we can close our eyes

And we’ll let the second hand go by

Cause I wouldn’t wanna not say goodbye

Let you know that you touched my life

And whether I like it or not, I think a part of me will never give up in this

fight

Cause there’s nothing like you and I

There was nothing like you and I

But it’s getting late in this game now, with outcomes uncertain

These are things that I needed to say before the curtain

So I wrote you this song that you deserve to let you know

You will always be my first and most wonderful love

When we play with fire and you get burnt

For all the things that I have learnt

Cause I would love to walk you home

And if not the one, then you’re the first

For all the things that I have learnt

Cause I would love to be

The one to walk you home

Said I would love to be

The one to walk you home

To be the one to

Said I would love to be

The one to walk you home

To be the one to

To be the one to

To be the one to

To be the one to

To be the one to

To be the one to

To be the one to

To be the one to walk you home

Can I walk you home?
