lyrics

Valentine! Don't lose your stride, you got me good
The way you tap dance through my daydreams makes my heart skip more beats than it should
When will I finally shake it? I can't take it anymore
I'm either waking up to more shit luck or sleeping in on the kitchen floor.

The things you that made me fall for you still kind of freak me out
Like when you found the trapdoor in my naval, then watched the blood start pouring out my mouth
You're my fitted casket, and I wish I could tell you what I once had said before
How I'd climb a mountain
Just to shout with both my arms out and proclaim:

I feel like that poet we saw, sweating at the center of the stage
Clearly questioning perpetually if they should tear or turn the page
And I'm not saying that it's working, I've just noticed some new trends
I made like six bucks doing bar tricks in a basement with my friends
And I don't have to say a prayer if you're there holding back my hair
Because the spit inside your kisses feels like holy water in excess
I can't protest coincidence, but I sense that there's more to fear
Beneath these sorry situations, our fates are subtly revealed
And I'm sorry that I had to be the one to let you hear that I'm still here.
