Clean and Discreetly

Use the key I gave you as if your own

A brand new place for us to merge in

I promise soon you’ll look like me from proximity

A taller balder older version

You can shower first and I’ll wait my turn

I’ll bear the shock of water that’s cold

You can rest assured that I’ll invade your space

Invited until otherwise told

And be as it is and how imperfect I am

In light of open wounds that still burn

For all that you accept I’ve wept not knowing it’s earned

And patiently you waited for me to learn

At my level I wonder do you have tendencies

To steal back your socks from off my feet

Hope you know that I’ll always put them back

And replenish your pile with my own

Clean and discreetly

And be as it is and how imperfect I am

In light of open wounds that still burn

For all that you accept I’ve wept not knowing it’s earned

And patiently you waited for me to learn

Rent’s gone up and so have the stakes

Bending’s not enough so now we’re folding

I thought it’d be harder my mistake

I never could forget whose heart I’m holding

I never could forget whose heart I’m holding

And be as it is and how imperfect I am

In light of open wounds that still burn

For all that you accept I’ve wept not knowing it’s earned

And patiently you waited for me to learn

Be as it is how imperfect

In light of open wounds that burn

For all that you accept I’ve wept not knowing it’s earned

And patiently you waited for me

And honestly you waited for me

And selflessly you waited for me to learn
