Stuck and Skin

Stuck and Skin

I don’t want to be attached to you

I don’t want to let you in

But I want your thoughts and your honesty

And I need your muscle and I need your skin.

I don’t want to like you

That was never part of the plan

But I like everything that makes you you,

And I like that youre learning who I am.

I don’t want to think youre funny

I don’t want to smile when I think of you

But I associate you with all  good humor

And smile when I’m reminded of you.

I don’t want to miss you

Cause that means you got inside

I don’t want you to know how much I care,

Because that just means I lied.

I don’t want to think of you

No matter what station’s on the radio

I don’t want to hear you singing,

 Every lyric I’ll ever know.

I don’t want to miss you

So much it keeps me up at night,

And keeps me cuddled to my pillows in the morning,

Pretending they’re you and holding them tight.

I don’t want to want you

To be the only name on my phone

And I should start feeling guilty,

About how I cant leave you alone.

I don’t want every backseat

To smell like you just after a shower

I don’t want to see you in my rear view,

It gives you too much power.

I don’t want to be so fond

Of you holding my wrist

But I would trade any man’s hand in mine,

For your unaffectionate bliss.

I don’t want to be attached to you

But ive already let you in.

You’ve touched and you’ve teased your way,

Deep underneath my skin.
