When you come back around
I’ll be sure to keep my hopes way down
I won’t write a dozen songs
The way that I am right now
I’ll keep a lid on it
Sit on my hands
And I won’t quit
til you make a goddamn decision for yourself
I’m sure it’s written in the stars
Perhaps the galaxy ain’t ours
and I’ve got my timelines confused
So I probably shouldn’t have your baby
With the ice caps meltin' like crazy
I don’t think he’d be amused

And I probably shouldn’t take your name
It’s already late in the game
But damn if I don’t love you to the point of insane

I hear you overthinkin’ it
from across Manhattan Bridge
You know I’ve got what it takes
to drown your doubts and sink your ship
I’ll try to dance it out
Sit on my throne and wear the crown
Gonna buy some goddamn flowers for myself
And I hope you take this leap of faith
although it’s Venus retrograde
ya gotta let go of that rope
until then i’ll stay up late
eating only one meal a day
those who are certain can wait
I’ll listen to a thousand songs
And ask my exes what went wrong
then tell em that I love you like the day is long

Hey all the good men are dead
at least that’s what I think they said
sometimes I cannot find your pulse
but really you just ain’t born yet
by all means
don’t let me keep
you from your 8 hours of sleep
gotta keep that head on straight

Don’t wait until the fossils form
You’ll be the calm to my storm
Gonna make that levee break
You don’t need to go back in time
You don’t have to apologize
We gotta let each other change
We fit so well like keys and locks
The ground appears as we walk
I promise that I love you and it’s more than talk

My mind told me the other day
Don’t listen to what people say
I know that I do not know
What they do not know they don’t
Come on babe, let’s have some fun
And see life as zeroes and ones
I can speak that language, too
When you call on me this time
I’ll let the phone ring more than twice
and answer just the same
And you’re probably missin' my salt lamp
though since that day you ain’t been back
we're all about Brooklyn these days
And you’re probably wishing you could learn
how to be bright without the burn
but damn if i don’t love to the point of no return
