What about your love?

Sorry, I can’t sing. I really don’t care. I just write these dumb songs every day because singing is good for you.


Woke up again said when is this going to feel like living

Put on your shorts from the bottom of my laundry

Sat in my car outside our cafe grieving

And yeah I know you’re going to be here or something familiar

Always

Always

And no I didn’t really plan this but what a coincidence

Always

Always

Can I just forget that time

You cast your wishes into my eyes then were surprised you couldn’t fly

On your knees in frontlines

He cursed himself with a new black stain on his side.

And what about your love?

What about your love?
