lyrics

NOT BEING YOU

My phone is set to vibrate
And it's always going off
I pick it up in case it's you
But it's just my fucking boss
Or maybe it's a buddy
Or maybe it's my dad
I'm trying to be happy
But they only make me mad

I'm angry at the animals
That gaze at me with trust
I have no patience for the people
Riding with me on this bus
I'm furious with friends
Who call out of the blue
I'm mad at all of them
For not being you

They're just being themselves
What else could they do?
But it's bad for my health
When they're not being you

I want you in my arms
I want you in my bed
I want you inconsolable
after I am dead
I want you on an island
I want you in France
I want to watch you wiggling
Out of too tight pants

I want you crying out
I want you soaking wet
I want to be impossible
Ever to forget
You're over an ocean
You're away across a sea
Are you mad at people there
For not being me?
