lyrics

I’ve got my eyes open wide, and they’re facing forward. After a year of discovery, I have discovered: I’m something. More than my past regrets, or the things I’m not yet, I know I’m still a monster but I’m making progress. I’ve found purpose since the apple orchard. You and me, and all our routines, is all I need to be happy. But you’re so scared of who you are, and how you might break us apart, that it’s “for the best” to leave, and stop while we’re ahead. But If you leave without me, who’s gonna kiss me in the mornings? If you leave without me, who’s gonna listen to my stories? If you leave without me, who’s gonna show me how the world works? So don’t leave without me, let’s see if we’re still compatible. Don’t be scared you’ll break my heart. I adore you for who you are. So sink or swim, I’m by your side. Let’s be best friends for the rest of our lives. It’s for the best.
