Keep Me - John Ralston

I don’t want to be in your service. 
I just want to make your short list. 
I don’t want to wear all your armor. 
I just want to be in your chest. 
Always keep me in your heart. 

I don’t want to take you for granted. 
I don’t want to pay all your debt. 
I don’t want to be your light shining. 
I just want to be in your eyes. 
Always keep me in your sight. 

I don’t want to be your perfect summer. 
I want to be there when the winter’s in sight. 
I just want to be the record you play 
When you come home to sleep at night. 

I don’t want to be your ambulance. 
I don’t want to be your twisting vine. 
I don’t want to take out your stitches, 
but I’ll whisper to you all night. 
Always
