Burnt furnace, so old. The thermostat's broken, and my hot-nature's come a custom to the cold
But the snow fell for weeks as I struggled to sleep, clutching clothes and towels in my backseat
Spent tread on my tires; earned lights on the dash- only half a reason to decline when you'd ask
So I bury my gut, repeat "live in the moment," but that moment's since lost
And I've known it-for some time-but so have you
It's not unsaid. You made me sweat-more than I already do
Don't be mislead if I fall into your bed. It's plenty comfy; I'm just worried it's not all true
Derived my hopes from a point of view like we're children in a lunchroom
Though I'm not allowed over there, no one could see me in that smothering mask
Just saw reflections of you
I introduce myself as Tucker, though you just heard my name
Dictations, somehow, easier in the context of a game
I suppose if I'm not myself, I don't have any faults to disclaim
You found me fishing for a partner for the three-legged race
Who simply falls into step without a word exchanged - illogical, I know... and at a snail's pace
But I become transparent once I take off the mask
Heard you were making fun cause I'm a 'fraidy cat
I'm Erik Destler underneath
Could hardly force myself to speak
It's not unsaid. You make me sweat-more than I already do
Don't be mislead if I fall out of your bed. It's plenty comfy; I'm just worried the frame's come loose
Molasses thick... I've still yet to mask the scent
My underarms' stiff clench...
Just leave your coat on; you're vulnerable and far too sensitive
There's no mystery - rusty and a lot of blunt
It's nice to think that fate's significant in why I still come over, but you always make it seem so urgent
I'm sure you miss the company, but so do I
Put your head up next to my collar bone
Can you feel my pulse break?
Can you feel the guilt swimming as we start to?
It's like I said, still drenched in sweat; I struggle to keep all alone
And as mean as it sounds that I don't want you around, through my silence I am trying to help us both
