in mid October 2016 Amy sent me a poem she was writing and I thought it would make for some sweet verses so I stole them thanks Amy I stayed up super late and made the record in one night
lyrics
we stayed up late to find out what the answer was
and woke up feeling the same way
you reading your horoscope in the morning
your fingers crossed
and me
laying on your chest
thinking of boys
( hey do you think you could tell me a little more about yourself I dont think I would mind getting to know you better and what you are really like )
we promised to start making better choices
(and then we took it back)
cause you said its always worth it
to give love a chance
and I'm not done
getting fucking hurt
and if this were fiction it would be admirable
and if we were men we'd be on the cover
of a novel you couldn't put down
we're doing everything right
but the stars are twisted around
(perhaps you would prefer to remain the enigma that you've always been in that latent space inside my heart of which you've always been an integral part)
(why'd you have to take up residence inside my art why'd you have to set a precedent for us to ever be apart why'd you have to)
we can't escape the same old fate
but our desire never changes
