Lyrics

Free Association

I'm envious of sheets that wrap around you
And my hopelessness in how I feel about you
Is it dangerous to love you like I love you?
I just don't know
I just don't know how to love you less

And I was in Detroit and on the phone
As I stood by the ice machine
And we lost the connection
And the dread began to ripple through me
Oh, all the back and forth, the oscillation, isolation all we know
And I'll cling to free association, walk through buried cities below

I'm envious of sheets that wrap around you
And my hopelessness in how I feel about you
Is it dangerous to love you like I love you?
I just don't know
I just don't know how to love you less

And I can see your face, it's like a mirror
Vacant or occupied
This terrible Red Roof that I'm in
So I won't see you for a while
I wanna feel you breathe heavily on me
Want to take for granted all I need
And just sit with you silently
