i want a love that likes laying in my bed
wasting time but never losing tread
i want a love that can play me in pool
lose a game and then play it cool
(but in a cute way)

i want a love that will love me
when i’m too drunk and hug me
let me know that everything will be okay
let me know there’s another day
when this one’s done
and the rising sun
isn’t something to run
from but something to see beauty in

i want a love i can reciprocate
i want to be ready while i wait
for you to get ready for our date.
i want to love the way you hate
the toppings on our pizza
or how the Uber was late

i want a love the loves me
that feels the things above me
realizes I’m more than
my mental fallacies
and looks past all i am
to see what i can be

it’d be a shame to watch this burn
without dancing around the flames
after all the things i've learned
i still turned out just the same
another year spent wishing
i was anybody else
another night spent living
in my own personal hell

the mornings always hurt too much
for the night to feel worth it
i’m broken and you’re a crutch
but in the moment it felt perfect

i think too much when i’m all alone
memories stinging like a funny bone
i think too much when i’m by myself
i’m just another toy left on the shelf

embellishing my relevance
your eloquence is heaven sent
the aggressive postulant’s sentiment
flattered, yes. accept my dissent

owl
that’s a mighty long neck bottle
fits just right in my hand
feels better going down
to the sound of the house band

if i had a nickel
i’d buy a real fancy car
for every night i spent drinking lonely at a bar

the flood i drank has washed away
everyone i’ve ever loved
i catalogued everything you say
and i replay it when i’m drunk

if i had a nickel
i’d buy a real fancy car
for every night i spent staring lonely at the stars
listening to too much country?

you may never know about the love we made
but i hope one day you know the same
shiver down your spine
at the sound of your lover’s name

beneath the plastic clacking
i’m laughing. too attached
to girls moving backwards
and making eye contact
they burn with the passion i lack
