Tell Me

Tell me Do you get up in the mornings Without first checking your cell screen? Do you start every day new? Tell me Do you make pancakes and coffee? If I don’t eat, will you judge me? It’s just that my face is filling out And I’ve never known how to take Care of myself in the mornings When defenses are high And I’m still dreaming things changed Take care of myself in the mornings So I’m not erased Every night, when I go under covers I take off my clothes undercover It’s easier just not to see And the nights when I go undercover And touch myself under the covers I dream that you love what you see And at least when I come I can give in to the quiet of the evening When defenses are low and I’m wishing I’d change And into the quiet of the evening I’ll be erased What do you think when You’re walking alone in the gloaming? I want to escape to the place Where I live in your mind 'Cause when you get drunk And say something about Bowie I don’t understand, but I want to I think I feel your eyes getting tired of me And I want a love that’s embarrassing I want to know my own limits 'Cause I want more than I know how to give So tell me Do you think that you could love me? Do you see something that’s something? Or do you see nothing at all? And at least when I come I can face into the quiet of the evening For two seconds, I’m drenched in a love that’s my own And into the quiet of the evening, I’ll find home Tell me Can we make love in the morning? Fuck eating pancakes and coffee I just want to drown in the light
