Sweet Tooth

(album: Sleepyhead - 2020)

Feeling sick of myself
Think I'll try to be someone else
Can't be hard to paint a person
In my head create a version
A parallel

Pull my head out the sand
Try as hard as I can
Guess I must be satisfactory
You said you love me exactly the way I am
And you know I find it hard to understand
Pay a visit to the doctor 'cause I have

A sweet tooth for you I'm wide awake
The sugar went straight to my brain
Feel like a kid, I double tap
My chest with my fist

I like you
Say it back
Say it back

Never had a cavity
Never had nobody as sweet as you
Smooth around the edges, good as new
Gently insulating every rendez-vous
Caught myself blaming planets, like you do
I know every line and curve of your tattoos

Sweet tooth for you I'm wide awake
The sugar went straight to my brain
Feel like a kid, I double tap
My chest with my fist

I like you
Say it back
Say it back

Sweet tooth for you, my dreaming space
Is filled with scribbles tore the page
Decipher them with coloured paint
Repair the stitches in my veins

Sweet tooth for you, my honeydew
I'll see you in my garden soon
Beneath the skin it's cardiac
A safety pin, I like you, say it back
