lyrics

when you kissed me outside in the cul de sac
I had no signal, was grateful you didn’t kidnap me
I drove home with a smile on my face
then one thing led to another now
I fucking hate this place

but yet and still
though the boxes are sealed off
and the hallways are empty
I see a shadow creeping
along the dirty wall

I drift off to sleep
ready to rest my eyes
but on the screen you’re spamming me
while Joe picks at my insecurities
of all the cities where I could be
this is the least I want to be
I don’t want you breathing around me

I read the morning paper
grateful to see I’m five steps ahead
then I’m back in a house
where we hang in a dingy room
the cat perpetually winks
as if she knows what’s to come

then I’m powdering my nose
before yours dives into my cherry pit
freshening up before I turn you on
man I let you go all sorts of out there
I wonder how far it could’ve gone

I drift off to sleep
ready to rest my eyes
but on screen you’re spamming me
while Joe picks at my insecurities
of all the people to jump in my head
this is the least I want to have
I don’t want you thinking inside me

some days I want you in my arms
some days I want to have your head
I wish I could understand
why you made a home in my mind

I drift off to sleep
ready to rest my eyes
but on screen you’re spamming me
while Joe picks at my insecurities
of all the people I could have ever loved
this is the most baffling of all
I wish I never let you into me

I think I’m over the hill
then I go for a jog
then I start rolling the ball to you
but end up in the refineries to rot
