{Verse 1}
All I want is what you have
But it’s not that serious
All I have is what you need
But you’re not that jealous
I threw one last "Hail Mary"
At your bedside about ten thirty
I said that we had to talk
Guess you had to get up early
And I try to uninstall
This first set of desires in my genes
But the second pair
Keeps strangling me
{Verse 2}
All I want is the punchline
But you say it's serious
You get lost from time to time
But at least you’re honest
When I tried to knit
Each of these dandelion-yellow threads
I told you I have the hang of this
While we plainly saw it fraying at the ends
{break}
{Outro}
I think I'd be better off
If instead we kept them at short sleeves
A lack of control
Will be strangling me
And I don't know how else to make you see
