wallflower

(album: Smiling In Insomnia - 2023)

You don't sound like the way you used to
Your eyes look past mine
It's fucked up, I'm love drunk
And we know what drunk do
Same song, we've played it a thousand times

Wouldn't be enough to stop me from jumping and asking, "How high?"
Feels like the more that I listen, the more you don't try
The sun gone white, air gone ice
At our table, plate full of sighs

All my friends, they tell me while I be back at home
That you be drinking heavy and don't go home alone
All my friends, they ask me, they ask me if I'm happy
But I'm alright as long as we're alright, yeah

Keep me company
I'll be what I need to be

What ya tryna speed for?
Flowers growing, we ain't dying for it
Skid marks and the sidewalks of the drop offs
I thought yours, but I thought wrong
I thought yours, but I thought wrong
I thought yours, but I thought wrong
I guess not

All my friends, they tell me while I be back at home
That you be drinking heavy and don't go home alone
All my friends, they ask me, they ask me if I'm happy
But I'm alright as long as you're alright, yeah

Keep me company
I'll be what I need to be
Keep me company
I'll be your wallflower
'Til you water me
