lyrics

Lately, I’m using my time wisely
Self-care has surprisingly great effects on me
Out here, I’m trading my denial
For a healthy, whiter smile
For when I come home to see who I’m on speaking terms with

I choose to be a close second for you
So I don’t have to put a whole lot into this
And deal with the consequences
But when I pull myself out of the throes
Of pretending I’m not broke, and list how we can be better friends

The endless summer has an up side
Of wandering desire lines that stretch out past my reach
I’m pandering to the whims of the last few sips left in my drink
Calling me to go ‘til I can’t feel a thing
I can hail for one more glass of sweet relief

I wanna feel better soon
Run off my horns and hang ‘em in your room
Talk ‘til 5AM and call a care
We’ll start a “new life pact” right where we are

I choose to be a close second for you
So I don’t have to put a whole lot into this
And deal with the consequences
But when I pull myself out of the throes
Of pretending I’m not broke, and list how we can be better friends
