Out Loud

My baby loves like a song
Played on the train through a Walkman
Drinks me like thieves' alcohol
And waters me down before anyone walks in

We play house at mine
God, it'd be nice (to brush our teeth together every night)
Promise I don't mind
When they seek, I'll just hide

I know my baby loves me like crazy
Miss her in pictures but it doesn't faze me
My baby's proud, sweet, and devout
If I'm patient, one day she'll love me out loud

I live in her songs, her heart, her phone, her car, her clothes
That's how it goes
And I watch her shows, her games through window frames, for now
I'm waitin' it out
One day you'll see, she's gonna speak
And love me out loud

I keep the feelin' alive
When all that I wore was Chanel No. 5
I love my babe like an oath
Palm over chest, I confess where I hang like a coat

Kiss me when it's light (kiss me when it's light)
God, it'd be nice (to come to dinner like your brother's wife)
Promise I don't mind (I don't mind)
When they seek, I'll just hide

I know my baby loves me like crazy
Miss her in pictures but it doesn't faze me
My baby's proud, sweet, and devout
If I'm patient, one day she'll love me out loud

I live in her songs, her heart, her phone, her car, her clothes
That's how it goes
And I watch her shows, her games through window frames for now
I'm waitin' it out (waitin' it)
One day you'll see, she's gonna speak
And love me out loud

Tell them my baby loves me so dearly
Even if God's the only who hears me
Write on my casket, right to my last breath
'Til I'm a whisper on her mouth
And love me out loud

I know my baby loves me like crazy
Miss her in pictures but it doesn't faze me
My baby's proud, sweet, and devout
If I'm patient, one day she'll love me out loud

Tell them you love me, you love me, oh please
Tell them you love me, you love me, baby
Tell them you love me, you love me, oh God
I'll prove them wrong
One day you'll see, she's gonna speak
And love me out loud
