lyrics

She looks over at poor old me
I’m still asleep till I hear her speak
And she takes me down to stream
I am slipshod slapdash overwrought underexposed

She exposes her leg to me
She retracts when she sees me flinch
She’s offended, I double back, I say
I want to do it, I do, I’m just don’t know how

She’s so close you cannot see her,
You forget yourself in your desire.
Laid out like a sprawling city,
Infinite unbounded hide and seek.
Wash your little face and won’t you come back

There are things that you need to know,
How to guess when the moment’s close,
How to get it out of her clothes,
How to seem like you’ve done it before while you shake with joy.

And we lie in her parent’s bed,
Trying to pretend that it’s ours instead.
They come in with their face turned red,
They say “daughter of mine, think of all that you could have been.”

She’s so close you cannot see her,
You forget yourself in your desire.
Laid out like a sprawling city,
Infinite unbounded hide and seek.
Wash your little face

And why don’t you believe her when she says
Please come back, please come back.
But both of your cocoons begin to fray
Please come back, won’t come back

Your skin it is harder now
It does not belong to you
She’s not what she said she was
And neither are you

She’s so close you cannot see her,
You forget yourself in your desire.
Laid out like a sprawling city,
Infinite unbounded hide and seek.
Wash your little face
