lyrics

When I blot my lips I leave candy floss smears
Let’s talk about the weather
like I didn’t fight my own reflection just to get here
Did you, too? Did you, too? Every little thing I’ve learned of you says no; it says no.

“Can I walk you home?”
There’s weight in the air
There’s a want in your stare and I know that I can’t feed it
There’s a glow in your eyes
And I feel for your lies like a diver gone pressure-blind

When I clench my fists I leave crescent moon shapes
Let’s talk about your passions
and I’ll make a home for you inside the breaths that I take
Will you, too? Will you, too? Every little thing I’ve learned of you says no; it says no.

“Can I walk you home?”
There’s a weight in the air
There’s a want in your stare and I know that I can’t feed it
There’s a glow in your eyes
And I feel for your lies like a diver gone pressure-blind

When you walk me home my held grin starts to ache
Let’s talk about the future
like the slightest mention doesn't go and make my hands shake
Do yours, too? Do yours, too? Every little thing I’ve learned of you says no; it says no.

“Can I walk you home?”
There’s a weight in the air
There’s a want in your stare and I know that I can’t feed it
There’s a glow in your eyes
And I feel for your lies like a diver gone pressure-blind
