“Milk and Ivory” is a love song written about a couple Drew made up in his head, not written in his personal perspective.
I’ve been in love before, but I made characters up; a really depressed person in a relationship who can barely take a shower…I think of it as real love. I wrote about lust that...
[Verse 1]
Milk and ivory
You're a punkish thing
That makes me smile so wide
So drive your car with me
Your heart’s inside a tree
Inside your house in the dark
[Chorus]
I've waited all my life to bring you flowers, so blue
And I'm picking out a day to take a shower, so true
[Verse 2]
So tell me funny things
While I pick some stuff to bring
To take a trip outside (oh, oh)
Let’s make this meal a thing
And see the sex it brings
And then be tired, and unwind
[Chorus]
And I've waited all my life to bring you flowers, so blue
And I'm goin' in a mood, should take an hour, to see it through
[Bridge]
But we can't do the things we want in life
But surely I can take you out for Thai
Tonight
So touch your toes on me
And all that shit can be
Pulled away for days
[Refrain]
'Cause milk and ivory
You're a punkish thing
That makes me smile so wide
[Chorus]
And I've waited all my life to bring you flowers, so blue
And I’m picking out a day to take a shower, and see it through
