You
You think
You think you can predict
When my ship is going to sink
Well, you might be right about that

You know me so well
One phone call
My breaking voice
You can already tell
And suddenly I feel safe

Our drinking habits
We aim to decrease the bottles
Go swimming tomorrow
Eat breakfast, not feel hollow
Your muscles are coming back

The skater boys
With their twisted ankles
Broken clavicles
We tell the tales
Send my wedding ring in the mail

You know you would do it
So do it
You know you wouldn’t do it
So screw it
Bad habits

Bad habits

Cold arctic fox, looking for food
You say hello and I say yeah, dude
I’ve thought about you every single day of the week
There’s no mistake who I’m with

Will you come sit with me
Soft voice, inviting
No fights in front of the neighbors
No waiting for you to call me back
A sweet thing, a sweet thing
A sweet thing, a sweet thing

I carried around all this weight
Your emptiness, your guilt, your refusal to change
And here I say goodbye to what I previously misunderstood
You’ve calculated it so good
Of natural cause, of groupthink
The way you treated me eventually made me sick

No fights in front of the neighbors
No waiting for you to call me back
A sweet thing, a sweet thing
A sweet thing, a sweet thing

All it would take from you
The minimal amount
A display of affection

On me, grant me some attention
Oh did I forget to mention
Your girlfriend is boring
You’re already bored to death
Do you want to feel the edge

Find me again
My address is engrained in a permanent map in your head
Just take me to bed
Or let’s talk instead
About why would we ever part again
Why the sky turns pink when I’m in pain

Please say my name
Gently, softly
In your raspy, deep concentric voice
Better than all of the other boys’
Find me
Surprise me

Outdo all the imperfections you ran into when we were together
Create something new with me
No running away
Act timely

Just slow dancing, you and me
Surprise me
If you can find me

It feels like you’re pulling teeth
Laying in bed with me
I miss your character
I miss your strength

I never saw your love for me as particularly strong
But I missed the boat there
You probably had my back there
And if I knew I would have cared

Sweet solace, forgiveness
The forbidden tongue
Forever paying for my bad decisions
Your skeptical eye drawn upon me
Dangerous, vigorous
Gentle enough to kiss like broad daylight
With you I want to spend all of my nights

You will never wake up and forgive me
And you don’t have the characteristics I require
But if the timing is dire
I say let’s bend the wire

I’ll come back for you
I’ll come back for you

I’ll see you in every cup of coffee
I’ll miss you so
The way you quietly lied in my bed
The twitch of a finger

Together we reached
A world beyond us two
And I’d be lying if I didn’t say
That I’ll forever miss you

I couldn’t take the panic
You were filled with distrust
But I miss looking at your face
And feeling insatiable lust

You could have been the one
But you dropped the ball
You could have been the one
We could’ve had it all
