lyrics

Love intentional, love immutable
Will it wait there? Ahhhh
I only know the love rehearsable,
what would be the show (oh)
Last night I held you naked
You sat up you were blue-lit, ash-marine, oh
You fed me lines to please you
except for “Can I see you, you again?”

CHORUS:
Will you be, will you be my stand-in heart?
Will you hold me till I finally get it right? Ee-oh

[instrumental verse]

I’ll keep it all barely mentionable
—the nights with you dear
I’ll carry on the love transactional
till the real thing shows
We kissed into a slumber
You held me we were total gravity
“You’re welcome to sleep over
but don’t feel any pressure
(Please don’t leave)”

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
The past keeps building up
a debt to failed love, oh
My heart keeps playing out
the pain of never-was, oh
A love self-defeated—
what could I be to want this? Oh
I’ll save a space for you—
my temporary heart, oh

Love plausible, compartmentible
We are safe here
You say you want to go with the flow
watch me flow like a pro
Can’t promise I won’t need ya
But baby needs his freedom (will you be)
I’ll keep it under covers
I’ll be your scheduled lover (will you be)

REPEAT CHORUS

See my soul
See my soul
See my soul
See my soul
