i want a voice like the heartbeat of the metra tracks
as it shakes its way into your brain
while you're half awake
and daydreaming
'bout something sweet
something that means nothing to me
but it's cute
see
the way you can't help but smile
i want to be that cringe of excitement in your skull
that you can't stop daydreamin' about
and...
if you could find yourself fascinated by my freckles
and my flaws
and the scars all over from all of the near-fatal gashes
and the heaps and heaps of stardust rusting to my eyelashes
and the fact that i'm always talking about love as if i'd actually had it
i promise
i'd never say you were a fool
i could wear you like split ends
or a crooked grin
a handsome pair in inclement weather
somehow better together
not two halves
of one whole
two wholes
thriving on each other
cigarettes and coffee
whiskey and beer
mmhmmm
we're in the clear from here
nothing but salty tides and starry skies
straight on 'till morning
