lyrics

Limerence

Verse 1
Watching at my window
All this time, all this time
See you walk in slo-mo
All this time, all this time
I feel so chemical
It’s tragicomical
If you want me let me know
All this time

Chorus (a friend intervenes)
Got to get it all together, man
Modern people, they don’t understand
This lovelorn creepy eccentricity
Take a shower and go take the air
Possibilities are everywhere
Give up your odd romantic OCD

Verse 2 (counting verse)
One hour goes so quickly
Two, it’s time for tea
Three hours seems a waking dream
Four hours, ecstasy
It feels near-criminal
Seduction subliminal
You and I can justify
All this time

Chorus (a friend intervenes)

(Chorus Counterpoint for the Protagonist)
I die every hour
I die at your feet
I die every hour
Lather rinse repeat

Verse 3 (more counting)
Five hours toes are tingling
Six hours sun has set
Seven hours fluids mingling
Upon this alphabet
I feel alchemical
Don’t have the where with all
To not be a neer do well
All this time

Chorus (a friend intervenes)
(Chorus Counterpoint for the protagonist)
I die every hour
I die at your feet
I die every hour
Lather rinse repeat
