Mine / Yours Lyrics by Wilbur Soot
Why must I feel numb
I’ve done what I’ve done
I’ve taken my cues
So what I’m supposed to do
Naively issue
The narratives due
When I hold the pen
It’s throttling you
You never liked me when drunk
I start to believe
You never liked me at all
So I agree
And I’ll say “Fuck you”
‘Cause I know if I don’t
I’ll probably say
Something stupid and true
I stand just out of reach of your fist
And take myself away, again, pretty slim
And dance around the subject of figure of eight
Describe all the parts of me I’m yet to break
Count all the parts of me I’m yet to break
I count all the parts of me I’m yet to break
You kiss me like it was your job
So tender and carefully, teeth before tongue (I wanna be yours)
Not in the way that the romantics do
But with the grace of a workplace and child dispute? (I wanna be yours)
You know, I don’t need much more
But wanna be mine, wanna be yours
You know, I don’t need much more
I wanna be mine, wanna be yours
I take you for granted
Because the alternatives far more alarming
