Don't come back to America. I love you too much.
Since you've got me lying in bed
emotionally drowsy,
I've noticed the ordinary objects
lying around my room
Coppertone sunscreen
a pink handkerchief
the pills I refuse to take
to alleviate my depression
I scratch my filthy head
and I try to ponder something
exciting
I just repeat self deprecation
and nearly convince myself to leave the house
I've seemed to have forgotten half my vocabulary
at a moment's notice
because I've tried to unlearn
everything we told each other
It doesn't make the downtime easier
It just makes it worse
I'm going to shower tomorrow
for the first time in...
1,2, no 5 weeks
and I'll put on a shirt without stains
acting like I'm worth getting to know
by being refreshingly bold
This girl has no idea
how stupid we will be together
just how terribly I will abruptly fuck up
our entire relationship
just by being honest
Maybe I'll be the next one packing
But at least if I am,
I'll have the money to travel
That's better than romance, I suppose
