i want you to look at me in that way
i want to be young lovers again
how much happens when you’re open
so much happens when you’re open
i watch them and pretend that they’re in love,
i watch them and pretend that they’re in love,
i watch them and watch them and watch them
and pretend that they’re in love
watching them gives me the amputated wings of a dove
you used to get behind my bitter shell
i used to open up for you, you used to be ready
i close my eyes and dream of you, even when you’re there
there there, even when you’re here
the comfort’s gone, the honesty is falling away
oh bitter saline crust, over every trusting part that had it’s place in me
you are warm and i am cold
when you reach for me it only burns
follow the heart, and it could just lead you somewhere you are numb
speak your heart, and it could just lead you somewhere you are dumb
