lyrics

I can make you doubt
I can’t make you doubt
ready set go, ready set who knows
I can’t do it, you say it’s killing me,
but you thrive, but you glow on the street like a neon raspberry
I can’t do it, I can’t, you say it’s killing me.
but you thrive, on the street
you glow, on the street like a neon raspberry.
I can make you doubt
I can’t make you doubt
ready set go, ready set who knows
Blunt knives then sharp knives,
blunt knives then sharp knives.
go again, go again, thwack like rubber bands in an open palm
it hurts to love
it hurts to love wide open.
Of grab, of clutch, it hurts to thwart the reflexes
to love and let and go again, and again. Again, and again.
it pesters to remember the lover who is not in bed
to hold back what is owed, what is owed
not in bed
again and again, again and again.
