[Verse 1]
These cards we read aren’t the only
Crimes against humanity
This whiskey makes me numb
Miss Mary makes me dumb

I’m driving on an empty tank
Fill up the glass, fill in the blanks
I’ve sung you my mistakes
The hour is getting late

[Chorus]
I just want to sleep next to you
I just want to stay and to prove
I’m not unkind

I just want to play in your heart
I just want to say from the start
I’m not unkind

[Verse 2]
We’ve stood too close
We’ve stared too long
We’ve touched too much
And spoke too strong

I hear the passing train
This hour is getting late

[Chorus]
I just want to sleep next to you
I just want to stay and to prove
I’m not unkind

I just want to play in your heart
I just want to say from the start
I’m not unkind [X2]

[Bridge]
I promise you
I’ll keep it clean
Just see me as
Your soft machine

Until the next mistake
The hour is getting late

[Chorus]
I just want to sleep next to you
I just want to stay and to prove
I’m not unkind

I just want to play in your heart
I just want to say from the start
I’m not unkind [X9]
