lyrics

if we weren’t lovers

you do the laundry, i cook
you like the way that i look
we’re working seamlessly hand in hand
i sleep dreamlessly, our bed is quicksand

i can’t recall all the names
of your video games
while i watch art-house films you go watch soccer
you fill the void with tabloid
i numb my needs with weed
and remain unperturbed when you go off your rocke

if we weren’t lovers, do you think we would be friends at all
beyond these sheets of our reciprocal fervor
beyond the reach of our chemical warfare
if we weren’t lovers, would we overlap anywise
or is this enterprise ultimately hap

you wash your car while i write
what i can’t say nor can fight
you file your tax return sharp and neat
i try randomly to stop my heartbeat
still in the grocery store
we buy gross things galore
you brag with insights that i’ve had for some time
now is the time to breed, my ray of sunshine

if we weren’t lovers, do you think we would be friends at all
beyond these sheets of our reciprocal fervor
beyond the reach of our chemical warfare
if we weren’t lovers, would we overlap anywise
or is this enterprise ultimately hap
