lyrics

Days are getting colder
It's Friday afternoon
I lay my head upon your shoulder
I best be going soon

Autumn, and cafés and clichés
I want to love you
But your heart is papier mâché
It's papier mâché

You walk me down the avenue and call me Pretty Thing
You watch me and you learn as you listen to me sing
You watch me as I'm dancing, dancing away from you
Watch me as I'm dancing and tearing your heart in two

You'll be my stray cat and I'll be your baby doll
'til I grow tired and throw you out into the cold
You'll be my stray cat and I'll be your baby doll
Oh I, till I throw you into the cold

Autumn, and cafés and clichés
I want to love you,
Yeah I want to touch you
But my fingers are razor blades,
They're razor blades.

You'll watch me dancing,
Dancing away from you
Watch me as I'm dancing
And tearing your heart in two

You'll be my stray cat and I'll be your baby doll
'til I grow tired and throw you out into the cold
And I want to catch you but I'd only worsen the fall

//People are crashing and hungry. Its dark and we all want love so we fumble around looking for the light switch. I don't want to hurt you like this. I just want to feel something. We are destined to end badly (puzzle pieces that don't fit) but the shape of being held will stave off the loneliness for now//

Days are getting colder.
It's Friday afternoon.
I take my head off of your shoulder;
I best be going soon.

The rawness and realness of this album, in combination with the genius lyrics blows my mind. I've been listening to it on repeat since I found it so I'd say it's pretty rad. Check it out ^^ Morgen Star
