On a tepid night in August, with the slightest of acts
We both drowned in the waters of a cup running over
Arguing over the same things every time
Once we cry, comfort each other, fall into each other’s arms, and sleep together
We’ll smile with faces like it’d all been resolved
Like it’s in the script of some basic TV show
Immature animals
Chewed up by loneliness
Though indeed, even now,
My thoughts fix on you
You’re thirsty enough to drink it all down
Only right when love starts
But now, I give up—it feels so good
So I’ll stay with you
Is this what love is? Tell me
The clock counts in ticks and tocks, the rain falls in drips and drops
Traffic lights shine against the pavement
…you won’t come home
It’s not enough, I’m so clumsy
I’m embarrassed to even desire
Lay off already, it’s all pointless
We can’t stay like we used to
We can’t go on like this
Immature animals
Who can’t live in loneliness
Not even able to choose for themselves
To put an end to it all
That thing they call true love
Is like when a star shoots overhead
You wish selfishly, it doesn’t come true
And then you wish again once more
From this point on
I’ll wander, lost forevermore
Rather than saying “No one’s right for me but you”
I want to make the choice: “You’re right for me”
Come home to me, so we can talk
