lyrics

We talk a lot about chemicals
And how we’re both so easily affected
Hearts like humming amplifiers with the gain turned up
I examine your living room
You read me poems in the kitchen

You asked me what the light symbolized

I said “It could be the truth or really anything.”



You don’t get to decide how somebody feels about you

But you can spin it a little bit

Maybe the purest motive is to say that



I just want what I want

I just want what I want

I haven’t given it too much thought yet

I just want what I want.



We talk a lot about solitude
And how easy it is to feel alone here

Ask me if I still like all the same bands that I used to

Well, of course I do.


Now I’m a train passenger, powerless
Steady shaking off the sugar and the sleeplessness
Lips numb with the knowledge that I laid it out the best I could.


You don’t get to pretend that you spent less time than you did waiting on a windfall

Does all it all have to be so heavy?



Baby, I just want what I want

I just want what I want

I haven’t given it too much thought yet

I just want what I…


There is a heat rising off every word

Voices resounding sound like nothing I’ve ever heard

I will no longer bite my tongue

For getting good at being young



We talk a lot about distance

And where we’d be if it weren’t for where we were now.
