lyrics
Sex/Tape
At 10:25 we make our moves, I head towards your room
How fierce of me to slip right through the hall past 202.
As I recall, every hour of that day you shot me looks
And lines inviting me to the best of times,
Cause your honest smile inspires mine.
You think you’re acting cute
Well darling here’s the truth
I will hold my head up while I hold yours down.
Open curtains and the moon
Shine line upon my cue
For every line I haven’t written yet
Regarding you.
I’ll let it slide; she’s in the room
We’ll have our screen time soon
How fierce of us to misconstrue this monumental evening.
I recall, you pulled my tie and tongue,
Your heartbeat raced my tired lungs.
You pulled and push it came to shove
Out the window’s not enough.
You think you’re acting cute
Well darling here’s the truth
I will hold my head up while I hold yours down.
Open curtains and the moon
Shine line upon my cue
For every line I haven’t written yet
Regarding you.
Let’s sink ‘till we hit the bottom
I was once loving more than you
You’re someone else’s problem.
Sleep it off dear,
Your harsh remarks won’t get you far
It’s condescending, it’s never ending.
