[ Featuring the Long Legs ]
You open all your sentences saying
"Don't take this the wrong way..."
It's already been a long day and the night is far from over
I am scatterbrained and scared
I come tripping up the stairs and through the door
And you're there
Rooted to the floor
And I don't dare disturb the peace
I enter silently
And I know you know it's me when I sit down next to you
And as the stillness shakes my room
I'm bathing in this ray of baby blue
And I know
I'm safe with you
So when I say, "I love you"
What I mean is, "I would pluck your eyeballs out
I'd pop them in my sockets
If it meant that I could see the world the way that you do"
Yeah, when I say, "I love you"
All I mean is, "Thank you for existing"
I mean "You don't owe me nothing"
No I don't need you to need me
So if you really want me to leave
Then I'm gone
Because I know you need your space
And I can't argue with the sense that makes
But when your heart or body aches
You can call me
And you can use me like a crutch
I'll be your comfort blanket of human touch
And no it don't offend me none, honestly
All I mean is
When your back's pressed to my chest
Your legs tangled in my legs
With every simple breath
You're safe with me
