Messy Bun

from Haunting Ground by Elbury

/

lyrics

I'm a-waking, eyes open now. I see you.
I'm smitten, all teeth and gums, all the better to charm you.
No complications.
In those days, the only thing stood in the way was me...
I'm stealing constant glances.
Details, details, to set aside and live by.
Those Jesus sandals on your feet.
A messy bun, you're smiling sweetly. I disappear completely.

Like before, I'll become just what you wanted.
I will bend, change again, you'll like it.
Then, when you are no longer able to tolerate somebody so pliable, we'll let go.

I'm stretching out through languid days with
nothing at all on my mind.
Education, in its final phase, and I'm waning.
Try to concentrate while blushing thoughts seize accommodation in various locations.
I'm stealing constant glances.
Details, details, to set aside and live by.
Those Jesus sandals on your feet.
A messy bun, you're smiling sweetly. I disappear completely.

Like before, I'll become just what you wanted.
I will bend, change again, you'll like it.
Then, when you are no longer able to tolerate somebody so pliable, we'll let go.

It's not shame, no.
It’s more a feeling that I've gotta be more than myself to be in this game.
One small fear - I'll say something wrong, a slip of the tongue and you'll disappear.
