remember when you loved me like it was tomorrow
a mouthful of always and the last syllable of “forever” stuck between your teeth
but I am not to be eaten up and spit out,
no, no no no, sir
I am to be swallowed whole.
I love you like yesterday, like tomorrow, like next month, next year, next millennium
I love you like none of those things are ever gonna come
I love you like yesterday was the last guarantee
and I don’t wanna be playing with any regret
so I’ll love you until I’m raw,
‘til I’ve scraped every inch of my body
‘til I got bullet holes in my hearts and lungs
and I swear, I can’t breath without you
it’s scary because it’s like a black hole
‘find what you love and let it kill you’
well it isn’t just gonna kill me
it’s going to annihilate me
hit me like that bus I jumped in front of last night
I don’t mind the danger in a busy crosswalk
I’m like, hit me
someone already did
I know what it feels like to be run over,
flattened,
parts of me tossed all over
I don’t like when people slam on the breaks.
what makes anyone think stopping will ever fix the problem?
sometimes you don’t have enough time, baby.
you didn’t leave enough braking distance
your tires are gonna squeal
and I’m still gonna be in the headlights
I’m still in the headlights of your love
you got me
caught me
yeah I’m standing in the middle of the street screaming your name
I like to dance on yellow lines
it’s dangerous
they make me feel alive
just like you
I love you like a yellow line
like the most dangerous, life threatening game of my life
I could stop
but I can’t
and I won’t
