I've been sleeping in too late
Let my hair grow past my waist
Maybe it's the season?
I'll justify my reason

I see you swimming in your head
Through catalogs of what feels best
You'll pull apart the pages eventually.
Maybe it gets better?
I could wait, it would be my pleasure

I forgot how it feels to love
Taken by someone who makes me better
I'm never patient I just give up
You stuck around despite the weather

If I bug you
Do you run around or ask for a redo?
I guess it worked out
After all

I like the way that you hold me
When you're still talking in your sleep
It keeps me up a while
All that I can do is smile

Morning breaks my anxieties
I trace your freckled galaxy
You tell me I'm trouble once again
Baby, it gets better
If that's true, I'll take off my sweater

I forgot how it feels to love
Taken by someone who makes me better
I'm never patient I just give up
You stuck around despite the weather

When I bug you
Do you wanna walk away from this place?
I guess it worked out
After all
