Marilynn

i know you never wanted me.
people say i waste my time —
but no, i think it's fine
to spend it all
on someone like you,
someone who happens to feel the way i do.
and every time i'd look to you,
i'd turn around,
and look away
you'd think to see me looking bad,
or anything thats nappy.
know that when your heart is pumping fast,
i never cared, it will last
for as long as i can hold it for —
and tonight's the night
that i will go
down to you, and let you know
that this is something that matters, so..
this song's for you, marilynn.
i hope this reaches you well.
i hope this finds you happy
in his arms.
the times i've said goodbye,
just like your hands slide across his back,
and my hands slide over my eyes.
your heart against my fist,
beating myself to tears.
i lied to you, and said
"oh yeah, i'm gonna beat all my fears."
and every time i'd look to you,
i'd turn around,
and look away
you'd think to see me looking bad,
or anything thats nappy.
know that when your heart is pumping fast,
i never cared, it will last
for as long as i can hold it for —
and tonight's the night
that i will go
and talk to you, and let you know
that this is something that matters, so..
this song's for you, marilynn.
i hope this reaches you well.
i hope this finds you happy
in his arms.
the times i've said goodbye,
just like your hands slide across his back,
and my hands slide over my eyes.
your heart against my fist,
beating myself to tears.
i lied to you, and said
that i'm gonna beat up my fears.
and every time i'd look to you,
i'd turn around,
and look away
you'd think to see me looking bad,
or anything thats nappy.
know that when your heart is pumping fast,
i never cared, it will last
for as long as i can hold it for —
and tonight's the night
that i will go
up to you, and let you know
that this is something that matters, so..
