lyrics

your mother hates me, has never met me, has only seen my name in your phone. i know you're waiting to help me. you want to hold me all your own. but i don't need that; i'm stronger. i'm just strong enough to sink. and i can't see this going longer, at least not longer than you'd think.

can i come see you? i'll keep things quiet. i will burn through my last paycheck buying gas to drive in circles until you let me kiss your neck. i am a sucker for excuses: i believe what i am told. she said, "motherfucker, you are useless." i believe what i am told.

she says it's all about technique: you gotta close your eyes and forget you can speak. don't look ahead just lean on me. why can't you stand on your own? are we even friends anymore? i thought you said you'd done this before.

i will feel empty but loaded, i will be asking on your floor. i will wait until the last possible moment, then i will be knocking at your door. i got your voicemail; you sound so different. yeah, i kind of lost my accent, too. but i will try at your insistence to talk the way i used to.

and it's raining now and my plane went down like a bottle of cheap red wine. you can't contain me now; even i don't know how but i will still show up in time. i am a target for your language that i cannot comprehend. will you stop it if it gets dangerous or will you keep smiling until the end?
