lyrics

pluck 700 500 300 200 300 500
I'm dreaming of girls I haven't kissed yet
Dreamed of their cotton hair
I don't think you know how lonely i truly am being a selfish git
Fill in the void with laughtracks and cutaways
try to free from shackles and love you in a new way because
I can't seem to cope without you in my mind
I wish i could just leave you behind and I'm
struggling so hard like the gift of the magi to
provide and still somehow love you
you're foul and wrong but I cant help but pine
I can't help but push against cotton while wishing you were mine and i'll
try to push against you with all my might
get through this year
if it kills me outright
