lyrics

my bed frame is breaking
and I think someone is watching
underneath my door
my bedroom door creaking
I can see your shadow cast on that line of light

does it rain this much on your side of the road
when we’re going different ways
or has my disconcern with the speed limit
predestined me to swerve off road anyway?

like when I wear a that red hat
to hide my hair
the parentheses around these song titles
wasn’t an artistic decision
It just all fell flat
like my love it all fell flat
like a plastic bag, I fall slowly

so now sometime soon
they’ll see through my cover
they’ll no that like this love
I can’t create a cohesive work
I try from time to time but it never works


so now I’ll change the POV
to make sure this song isn’t known from his perspective
he’ll hide this love for me
or I am giving it to him to give to you
yes he’s changing the point of view
because when he writes in the first person
it becomes the second person
because all his pronouns are replace with “you”

it was such a party
annie, mary anne, and mary lou,
it was so strange how it happened
but which were you?
which one are you?

he tried to change the tense too
he thought he could repair it all if he starts over
but now he greets every stranger
with “hi! how were you’s?”



now he moved his head in oscillation
he is looking from side to side
he considered it from all angles
he didn’t do well
but at least he tries

so now he writes in the first person
something simple, like sendak or seuss
it goes

“you are so goddamn wonderful fantastic
and in a makeshift outfit of dirty clothes from around my room
I’ll search my closet for change in inconspicuous places
if it’s all I have I’ll spend it on you”

In car seat headrest’s first album
there is a song titled “kid war”
in which will toledo sings the refrain
“I hate you”
but overtime I sing along it comes out wrong
I sing “I love you”
