So will you suggest me to a happiness inside?
And will you trust me to keep your secrets and your lies?
Opinions mean nothing if you never act upon
And facts are distractions your knowledge cannot be undone
So will you listen to me when I say to hear me out?
I want to study everything inside your mouth
A taste so unmatched by any other thing
Tell me you want me please baby validate me
You say we might be the same in everything but our names
Our bodies might attest to differences but we are unfazed
You are the firestarter, I am your gasoline
We make smoke signals in the night that never go unseen
So burn me to a crisp and please don’t ever put me out
My thirst can’t be salvaged unless you save me from my drought
The ground is our bedroom, let the Earth swallow us up
Let’s float through the skyline, fly east until our wings get cut
You say we might be the same in everything but our names
Our bodies might attest to differences but we are unfazed
You are the firestarter, I am your gasoline
We make smoke signals in the night that never go unseen
You say we’re identical but you don’t know a thing
About the potential that we could have in being a “we”
I’m sick of this first person treated like I’m the last
For once just put me ahead that’s really all I ask
