I Want To Guard You From Boredom

[Verse 1]
Puberty came late to me but so did everything else
Drifting between underdog and also-ran
But as for you, you came to me in a crescendo of silence
On a filthy strip of sidewalk where day settled like a scab

[Bridge]
You ordered extra avocado
Of course I wanna know your shadow
I slid the blade across the table
You be Cain and I'll be Abel

[Chorus]
I want to guard you from boredom

[Verse 2]
On Venice we pass thin old men in leather playing chess
I'm addicted to epiphany you wearily confess
When you leave me you'll be sensible as matching kitchenware
I suppose this song is writing me but it's taking fucking years

[Bridge]
You taught yourself to play piano
Of course I wanna know your shadow
I slid the blade across the table
You be Cain and I'll be Abel

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
