I told you all my songs were you about. So clueless to think otherwise. I love you. Inspired by: skinny love/ Sonnet 138/ a girl that makes me feel like pebbles are being swooshed around in my tummy)
lyrics
Last night you had me feelin' like a Shakespeare sonnet
Beautiful blonde hair, no need for a bonnet
And I'm honest with this courtly love
Cause ever since a freshman you've had me on this love buzz
Lip so yum but I forgot how they taste
I'll rearrange the clock and wait 'til you come back
These some bum raps, watchin' Jimmy Neutron
Tellin' you that you're the motive behind all of my songs
And every time I see you I feel like La La La...
But you got a new boyfriend, so not my prob
Where did it all go wrong? Did you hear some gossip?
Or did you just need space like an astronaut with problems?
But look, you make the world feel rational
I can almost taste our love, so tangible
And that buttercup smell, sweet lips, and the summer breeze
9/23 to December 24th, it seemed...
So long, yet the time flew by
I'm sorry that I wasn't the man you wanted in them brown eyes
I wanna lie with you, and prolly die with you
I look at the grey sky you make it feel so blue
I'll let the time pass, sippin' wine glasses
But (I'm just a) low class below average kid from Cleveland
Believe this, I'll always be here
Spiritually and physically I'll let you have your distance though
My black soul needs your presence
Adolescents seems so cold without you and my life's a joke
But you add some comic relief
Between the seems I see beauty entangled in some fall leaves
I breach peace when I think of you
You get me worked up, I'm feelin' my heartbeat thump
But the comedown bearable, then I'm at ease
I'm not the type of guy to only want what's between your knees
I need another half like some symmetry
You got me missin' them fall trees and them Dub P weekends
Hope we won't be friends forever
I swear I want more and more of your adorable better
Because I know you got a dark side I've got mine too
But you....you keep me going like a motorboat
You keep my inner in a rope, some butterfly shit
And every time I see you I just want more of it
And I want to know: will it ever be the same?
Last night you had me feeling like I'm way under your range
No eye contact, I'm feelin' skinny love
But as a freshman all I wanted was some fat lust
Maybe a fat butt, but you never met my standards
Lookin' back on it now, all that shit didn't matter
Because now I'm lookin' forward to the future, like a crystal ball
I hope you'll be here when it all falls down
