lyrics

An update for a close friend
Which I guess I am again
After so much space and time
Says “that’s my boyfriend” and it’s sweet
I’m hit with pangs of longing
Was hoping you’d be mine

But it’s a thing I get to see
Because you put me on the list
Granted me permission
And that feels nice, and I believe
That I would truly rather be
Like this than without you again

You need some space again, it’s fine
At least you told me this time
That you’re not permanently leaving
But I am shaking and I’m sick
Waiting for bad news to hit
That you’re not feeling what I’m feeling

So I take trips through older texts
Collect some shrapnel from the past
And start comparing then and now
Oh what a ringing in my ears
A growing existential fear
The echoes of explosive sounds

By now I’m really spinning out
Filled up with overwhelming doubt
That we could ever get there
That you would want to show me off
To have folks know there is an “us”
To let them see how much you care

So now it starts to make some sense
I tease out details in my head
Of why I didn’t wanna go
When it got late the other night
When you had your hand in mine
I think I knew, I think I know

That given space and time between
That night and next we meet
You’ll change your mind somehow again
You’ll come to think it wasn’t true
That, after processing it, you
Don’t wanna ruin our friendship
We shouldn’t be lovers instead

Don’t wanna ruin our friendship
We shouldn’t be lovers instead
