I’ll forget what joy feels like But remember the weight I’m cursed to lose in love This sin was a bait 6’2” of a boy curled around kicked-in ribs A recalcitrant heart met a colony kid
The moon looks like the one Reigning over in February Don’t come to London Don’t scream “Why’d you leave me?” Just because I don’t show it Doesn’t mean I don’t feel it Wish there weren’t a wall Wish you could still be here with me
Dreamt of having Paris in the palm of my hands You unsolicitedly wrecked all their plans The swooniest moments, the toughest desires But when the clock struck midnight, Had to curse out our fire
Santal 33, stuck in closets, no keys These were the answers you searched for so hopelessly I set them down on the table God, I need you to hear me Warned I’d only be there Momentarily
The moon looks like the one Over the oak at the party Don’t throw out the chain Don’t curse the palace that keeps me Away from my love, my joy, my ultimate fury Wish there weren’t a wall Wish you could still be here with me
I was raised in rooms with rules for walls Taught to smile and never fall Pillars built on stacks of gold Future history foretold They say I chose the higher road But what’s a throne if I die alone? Cause an ocean away with a reckless name My true crown came calling at the bay Don’t speak what wasn't spoken Don’t look at me like I’m broken The worst part is: I still love you I’m sorry
The moon looks like the one Reigning over in February Don’t come to London Don’t scream “Why’d you leave me?” You’re what I need, my joy, my ultimate fury But I can’t break the wall Wish you could still be here with me Stay with me
