lyrics

Break into a run, sweat through my shirt.
Get to a phone and I will rest assured assured-

'Hey I...'

Behind on bills, I can't think straight,
I think of you sweet sugarcane,

you know I think I can relate

to people taking pictures for their bedroom walls
(little college girls and preteen moms).
I'm not falling in love but I can't wait
for you to come around and keep me awake.

Because I think I can relate

to dirty old men and their upskirt canes
taking a walk down memory lane.
I'm not falling behind, but I can wait
for you to come around and take me away-

I don't care about anybody but you.

Living in the summer to the sound of your name,
playing violins by an open flame,
not combustible but I can't wait
for you to come around and burn me away,
