Because I wish we had time to misunderstand each other
Wish we had time to dance around the elephant in the room
Wish I hadn’t been so excited
Wish we had time to play hard to get

Because I wish we had time to hate each other
Wish we tore at each other’s throats
Wish we called each other the worst names we could think of
Wish we pushed each other to the edge

Because I wish you were the razor in my bathroom
Wish you were the gratifying drops of blood
Wish you ran through my arteries
Wish I could spill out your love and pretend we never cared

Because I wish we had more time to be strangers
Because I wish we hadn’t fallen for messages and kind words
Because I wish we fell for the hideous jealousy and heinous thoughts
Because I wish you were my enemy, and that we hope each other rots
