Patient sun

You're so seventeen
Hands on my neck and skin tight jeans
I want to die with you at the end of the world
You're so in between
What i want and what I need
I'm not sure what's good for me anymore
My dreams all speak in metaphors
Of love and sex and fear
You're always too far for me to reach
And i wish you were here
There are things we know and things we don't
Turned my ribs into a ladder to lift me out
It never got me anywhere
It never got me anywhere
When you called me just to say
"i'm drunk and I still don't love you
I'm drunk and I don't want you around"

(the sun comes up and I go back to bed/turn off the tv, just watch me instead/I will make you the happiest you've ever been/newspaper's open but you aren't reading it/I am laughing lying on the bedroom floor/I'm not scared of anything anymore/we're together laying on the sheets/the summer's leaving but I was sick of it)
