No more of this living dying.
Just scientific analyzing.I can't wait to meet you, and know nothing about you. Can't wait to not be attached to you, and yet, tell you all my secrets and in turn, you whispering yours. I can't wait to be a friendly acquaintance, and brush up against you. Subtly, slightly. Longing, wavering, wondering... I want nothing to do with you, know nothing about you. And yet, I can't wait to be attached to that nothing, and everything, all at the same time.
Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets. Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks and a voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired." My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire. Soak my head in the sink for a while. Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but my bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe.
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved, you slide down your stairs to the heated street. The sun has left us with slippery feet and I want to walk around with you. To walk around with you and be here with you, we're going.
It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel. Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal. I point in the windows, you point out the parks. Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks. We'll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass, weave through the cardboard, smell that trash. Walking around in our summertime clothes, nowhere to go while our bodies glow. And we'll greet the dawn in its morning blues with purple yawn, you'll be sleeping soon. I want to walk around with you.
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again. Don't cool off, I like your warmth.Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain. It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain. It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen, kissing the wind through my window screen. The restlessness calls us, that I cannot hide, so much on my mind that it spills outside.
Do you want to go stroll down the financial street? Our clothes might get soaked, but the buildings sleep. And there's no one pushing for a place as we end up at an easy pace. And I want to walk around with you. To walk around with only you.
Just you, just you, just you...
