I just remembered that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rode down
aisle five
you looked behind you and smiled back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us
if we could leave.
Can't remember
what went wrong last September
though i'm sure you'd remind me,
if you had to
Our love was
comfortable and
so broken in
I sleep with this new girl I’m still getting used to
My friends all approve, say “she’s gonna be good for you.”
They throw me
high fives.
She says the Bible is all that she reads.
and prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was
so dirty
Life of the party,
And she swears that she’s artsy,
But you could distinguish
Miles from Coltrane
Our love was
comfortable and
so broken in.
She’s perfect
So flawless,
Or so they say.
She thinks I can’t see the smile that she’s fakin’
Poses for pictures that aren’t being taken.
I loved you
grey sweat pants
No make up
So perfect
Our love was
comfortable and
so broken in.
She’s perfect
So flawless
I’m not impressed
I want you back
No, no, no, no I want you back.
Want you back.
Back.
That you were my first love
Is just dumb love.
A technicality.
You were ahead of me.
That you were my first love.
Is just dumb, dumb, stupid love.
A technicality.
You will always be ahead of me.
Oh, oh, tell me.
Why I have to practice on you.
Why I have to practice on your heart.
Oh.
