New Song

And darling

Is there a cure for this hunger?

A terrible curse to be under

I'll be sleeping with that

And it's no small thing

You'll smoke me out in your own ways

And chase me around until morning

And follow me by

And lovely

Tearing me down with your cheekbones

They're warm but they hit me like sharp stones

When you pull away

Now I walk slow

I wander the streets in the morning

Still smell your scent like a warning

When the wind blows

Oh, when the wind blows

So leave me

When you're sleeping alone in the basement

And my parents are home but I'm vacant

And I'm watching the news

'Cause I'm slow now

I'm young but I feel like an old man

The tar in my lungs and these cold hands

They held onto you

No, keep me

Inside of your mind

When you're aching

Lord, 'cause for now we're mistaken

In thinking we fit

God, stay steady

When nights are ablaze

And it's heavy

Alone in my room and I'm ready

To rest for a while

Oh, to rest for a while

Oh, but I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I don't mind, honey, I don't mind

Oh, but I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I don't mind it

And I don't mind it

(I'll wait and I'll listen) I don't mind it

(And see you through to the kitchen) I don't mind it

(I'm not taking it back) I don't mind

Oh, but I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I, ah

Oh, honey, I don't mind it
