Elementary Lover - Matthew Dear

Where would we be without each other?

Two unembraced and lonely lovers

Everyone always goes back to girls

And I don’t have a reason for that

Maybe I’ll rely on the way you talk

The words drip from your mouth and into my heart

Unable to know my own existence

An utter lack of resistance

If you’re going away

Please take me down

I can’t stand on my own anymore

If you’re runnin' away

To leave this town

We can’t live on our own anymore

Don’t lose… your place in line

You’ve been waiting… for quite some time

Hang in there, be clever

Entertain… your neighbor

Talk about the weather… whatever

If you’re going away

Please take me down

I can’t stand on my own anymore

If you’re runnin' away

To leave this town

We can’t live on our own anymore
