about

I wish that I could say things like you do
Like red wine on the carpet, or a cockroach on a dove
It can somehow be so dirty and so true
I wish that I could say things like you do

I wish that I could sing the way you do
Make the darkest parts of me feel like they've always belonged
And I'll give this all I have since it's been long past overdue
I wish that I could sing the way you do

The reason I don't always look your way
I could recognize your darkest shape through any crowded room
But instead of looking over I just stay
And write stories in my head of what you're thinking when you watch me
If you ever really watch like I watch you

I wish that I'd been better for you
But things are how they've always been and I can't stay the same
Or maybe it's just now I can afford to run away
I wish that I'd been better for you

I wish that I could stay here, I do
But things are how they've always been and I can't stay the same
Or maybe it's just now I can afford to run away
I wish that I could stay here, I do

The reason I don't always look your way
I could recognize your darkest shape through any crowded room
But instead of looking over I just stay
And write stories in my head of what you're thinking when you watch me
If you ever really watch like I watch you


And maybe it makes sense that I can't stay
For the reasons I can't see you without months of being apart
Without swearing I can't take another day
But a decade for a wasp is only minutes for a girl
And this windowsill is just as good a place as any
To wait for another summer to start
