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
