Leslie Hall
Kiss in the Dark
Please move in, we've dated for all of two weeks straight
Your place is so small and it's ten whole minutes away
It smells like smoke, but you don't use cigarettes
And there's never enough three pronged electric outlets
You could sublet to a co-worker, just don't mention the aggressive raccoons

Then we could go to the market, we could kiss in the dark
We could go tell a neighbor we're doing fine
Ever since the day, I asked if you wanted to stay
Ever since the day, you became mine

I have pots but no pans
I have lamps but no night stands
We can combine our collections, mix our socks in one drawer
Sign up for a CSA, take turns sweeping the floor
If I moved in, you'd have to make some extra space
Maybe move your laundry piles to a different place
I've got very dense hair, I've been known to clog a drain
Well, then I'll switch to bigger pipes to accommodate the mane

Then we could go to the market, we could kiss in the dark
We could go tell a neighbor we're doing fine
Ever since the day, I asked if you wanted to stay
Ever since the day, you became mine

We'll need a separate holder for the second toilet tissue
We can agree on a bedtime, but here we're having issues
You like quilted and two-ply that's too linty for me
One-ply that's like rubbing yourself with leaves down there
I got a itch, could you scratch it? I got a splinter, could you grasp it?
You got a cat, but I'm allergic, that's why they invented Zyrtec
I'll teach you how to sew if you teach me to bake
Call up the landlord, I got a lease to break
