Good Night

Your

Good nights that say it's okay
In the most low-key lovingly way.
Good nights that say it's okay
Because tomorrow will be better
And you'll figure things out.

Good nights that are not rushed.
Good nights that don't rush you.

Good nights that calm you down.
Good nights that keep you rested.
Good nights that make you feel safe---

Good nights that make you happy.
Good nights that make you hope, again.

I told you one day, I wanted to reach the mountain peak, You said it won’t be easy. Well, we know nothing worth having is easy anyway And together, we climbed and we seized the clouds. Then one day, they told us the unimaginable. That we have reached the end. That this is all we could ever go to, absolutely nowhere else. We are finally here at our final stop, to stay and just wait.
