lyrics

The way I love her’s like an old karate movie
Where the villain rips my heart out from my chest
The way my stomach leaps into my throat
The way she looks in a fancy dress

Blood is rushing through my veins
A rooftop gutter after rain
I’m overflowing onto the ground
I’ve always said more than I’ve meant to say
I wonder if she thinks that now

Tonight I’m drinking with the boys
I’m tryna drown out all the noise
I’m never good at being tough
Plot twist but it’s really no surprise
Can she see weakness in my eyes
And will I always be enough
For love
Hmmm

A black cat runs across the street
I laugh at its banality
And crash my car into the traffic sign
I’ve never been so superstitious
Maybe I should try it out this time

I am once again having impure thoughts
About saving the world
I thought that I had outgrown all that shit
She says life keeps branching out like a fig tree
Some point you gotta stop and pick

Tonight I’m drinking with the boys
I’m tryna drown out all the noise
I’m never good at being tough
Plot twist but it’s really no surprise
Can she see weakness in my eyes
And will I always be enough
For love
For love
For love
Hmmm
