june 9th. i want songwriting/poetry writing to be my career.

NEW: i want the cotton on my shoulder to be darker than the rest.
blacks and blues aren't your color.
and there's this key on my neck
with uneven teeth,
i love your uneven teeth.
there's nobody i'd rather be beneath.

we don't know how, but i want to swim in the salt
let your eyes sting just this once
and cigarettes on your breath, just another fault,
that i hate,
you're the only one that i can't hate
please drop me a line, i don't need any bait.

i want to see you when you're vulnerable
but you don't know how to let me in
and i'm trying now to be stable
it's strange
yeah, i know you're strange
but there's so many things i hope you'd never change

you are so important.

i want to see you when you're vulnerable
but you don't know how to let me in
and i'm prying now
but you're full
i wish you weren't full
i think we're both what we need just to be a bit stable.

you are so important.
