lyrics

every time you kiss me
i’m hit with an overwhelming clarity
that i don’t want to kiss you anymore
but it might take a lot more making out
for me to be able to figure out
how to close my eyes and the door and stop asking for more
more more more more more
i think this time i am sure

do you know that part in fight club where they turned his bleach blond hair black with blood?
i’d never heard fists hit like that
i turned to my right to see my bleach blonde friend asleep on the couch right next to me
but his face was too pretty to imagine it being punched flat
i wanna go back
to before all of that

I had a nightmare where I felt my body turn into a boardwalk vampire
I hunted you down and drained you into my mouth
when I awoke you were safe and sound
asleep right next to me
but regardless of the morning sun
I was still blood hungry

And I don’t know how to write about you cause I don’t want you to hear it
and i dreamt about you even though when you asked i lied and said i didn’t
and when people ask what happened all i can think about
is how i gave you your 22nd birthday present closer to your 23rd because you weren’t around
but it’s so good to see your face when you’re in town

and whether it’s fight club lost boys the thing 1982 or porn on VHS
there’s always gonna be something there to remind you of all the men
all the boys you know and love are in a band
-
the boys are in a band that’s undoubtedly playing for me and for you
the boys are in a band
and i am too.
