Torch Song - Laura Stevenson

It’s unfortunate

We’re so dissonant

It’s the distances that are disaffecting

It’s the nicotine

Nicking up your teeth

Lick your fingers clean and remember me

Oh, oh

Quit your bickering

We don’t need to speak

Make the most of it

While you got me hanging

It’s a dial tone

And a quiet bear

If your fingers bleed let them bleed

Think of me

It’s a torch song

If you need a torch

Til' you’re back to me

Til' you’re back to me

It’s a touchstone

But you don’t like to be touched

I don’t like your tone

I don’t like it that much

Test me

If you see me weeks from now like we intended

I’ll still stand and watch you exist

I’ll make miles teach me how to forget it

And get away from you

Get away from you

It’s a torch song

If you need a torch

Til' you’re back to me

Til' you’re back to me

It’s a touchstone

But you don’t like to be touched

I don’t like your tone

I don’t like it that much

Test me
