lyrics

She -
Just from the pronoun you know how I lean
Fourteen, fifteen
Every girl was the girl of my dreams
Her name was Louise
Brown hair, brown eyes,
Kawaii thigh-highs
She was having two guys on the sly
Like a pretty planet with
Two moons in the sky
Let me watch the Earth-rise
From my satellite
Were you his or were you mine?
Didn't give a shit at the time
I was so fucking shy
You had to tell me to take off my tie
Blazer, razor-sharpened spit
What the fuck? she's on my lips
You were a rocket-ship ride
Gravity of our descent made me cry
But no good-byes in my messages
Just cut each other off like permission slips
And I wonder if you ever really missed
The scruffy blond boy that you taught how to kiss

Down for your touch
Down for your touch
Down for your touch
But I want too much
Light my fuse and I'll blow up
I'll blow up, watch me blow up

Annabel, in my head you were famous
Golden-age silent actress on the screen of my mind kind of famous
But I couldn't say this 'cause I'd be betraying the love that I made with my real date
Fucking you was a make-believe escape
Fantasy I couldn't shake
Well, it's too late to sit in cafés
And let out my repressed feelings
Over a steaming cup of Darjeeling
Look at the ceiling and wish we could strip in the evening
Take a trip to a land where morality's stripped of all meaning
'cause lust is a mist, a maze
Hallucinogenic haze
Clouding the brain through bittersweet days
Annabel, Annabel, Annabel you'd be amazed

'Cause I'm down for your touch
Down for your touch
Down for your touch
But I want too much
Light my fuse and I'll blow up
I'll blow up, watch me blow up

Ivy in the sacred grove
where winter-bitten love is grown
I was so long on my own
I never thought I'd call another body home
But a girl with a pixie cut and her long-sleeved shirt buttoned up
She stole the show
Couldn't have known

Valentine, we perfectly rhyme
Slip a note under your door and run away like I just committed a crime
That was our kind of vibe
If you hand-write, it's not easy to lie
It was too easy to lie together
When our fingers found the spaces in between each other's
I held the whole world in my hands
The whole world I could understand
King and queen of our own sweet land
Bask in the sun of my bedside lamp
Her back to me, spooning,
Makes me go loony
Mad as the moon and I'm in love truly

Didn't always go smoothly
I wasn't a romantic lead from a movie
There were times you wished I would speak
And times you wished you could mute me
I could never compute you
Peer in your head and it's all translucent
Funny how the person you know the best
Can still be a stranger stranded in bed
Her back to me, silent,
Remote like an island,
Dark as the moon
And it's awfully quiet

Imagine if Sophie and Wiley both supplied genetic material to a top-secret experiment designed by the Nutty Professor Richard D. James. Which then catastrophically failed and was hushed up. I can neither confirm nor deny that I am what escaped from the test tube. ... more
