Junebug

Press my forehead to yours in a hospital room You on the paper sheets, blue like a bruise You fell asleep in my arms, deep in the afternoon Black X on your brand new skin Moment of truth I don't pray, so I know it's pathetic When they wheel you away, I get down on my knees I call you Junebug, even though your middle name is August It's true love I knew from the minute that I saw you, I'd wake up I know your heart like my only friend The summer sun is in love with you in the cool, wet dawn The light rests in your tangled curls, strawberry blonde I'm listening to you hum to tell me your favorite songs Spin around in the neon dusk, singing along But when I say that I've gotta get going You put your hand on my face, and you tell me to stay I call you Junebug, even though your middle name is August It's true love I knew from the minute that I saw you, I'd wake up I know your heart like my only friend I don't know what to do with your birthday cards or hospital bracelets I wanna memorize you with your hands still small enough that they fit in my palms forever I call you Junebug, even though your middle name is August It's true love I knew from the minute that I saw you, I'd wake up I know your heart like my only friend 'Cause I know your heart like my only friend
