patient sun
You're so seventeen

Hands on my neck and skin tight jeans

I want to die with you at the end of the world

You're so in between

What I want and what I need

I'm not sure what's good for me anymore

My dreams all speak in metaphors
Of love and sex and fear
You're always too far for me to reach

And I wish you were here

There are things we know and things we don't

Turned my ribs into a ladder to lift me out

It never got me anywhere

It never got me anywhere

When you called me just to say
"I'm drunk and I still don't love you

I'm drunk and I don't want you around"

The sun comes up and I go back to bed

Turn off the TV, just watch me instead
I will make you the happiest you've ever been
Newspaper's open but you aren't reading it
I am laughing lying on the bedroom floor
I'm not scared of anything anymore
We're together laying on the sheets
The summer's leaving but I was sick of it
