lyrics

I must've seemed to you a shipwreck,
I looked at you I saw an island.
So, I was swept ashore
to lie forever more,
or, at least for the evening.

So, we went to your apartment.
We shared a drink out in the garden;
you thought I must've pulled
this kind of shit with any willing fool,
I shrugged, and asked if that's a problem.

And so we loved, if for an instant,
and for an instant I forgot who I was.
So, for the night, I was all yours.
And sure, it was fleeting,
and I'm sure, a bit misleading,
we were just two people in need,
it doesn't have to be
some fucked up tragedy.

I hope I didn't seem too vulgar
when I asked to come over.
It's just these last few weeks,
well, they've been hard on me,
see, I got burned,
and I can't seem to recover.

And so we loved, or so it seemed,
and as I slept I dreamt of
Romeo and Juliet,
but Romeo was just playing dead.
And sure, it's just a dream,
and I'm sure, it holds no meaning,
but on this sober, hungover morning
why's it always gotta be
such a fucked up tragedy.

I tried to tell you but I couldn't,
I wanted to warn you,
but I need you so bad,
I mean, right now, you're all I have.
