lyrics

Spun Sugar

I don’t wanna tell you I love you
and watch you wither away, wither away
like a wildflower I picked and it died in an hour
like it knew I stole its freedom
and it’d rather die than live that way


I almost told you I loved you this morning over coffee
but I caught myself
I caught myself
cause if I told you I loved you you might
melt away on my tongue like spun sugar
and disappear

but I don’t want things to change
why can’t they stay the same
don’t wanna clip your wings
those words are heavy things
don’t want it to fade
this lovely thing we’ve made

wait
I wanted to wake you up
I wanted to say this right
but I just lay by your side all night
and watched you sleep
watched you sleep

the world is not your oyster
it’s a coffee shop
and you’re sitting there
trying not to stare
you’re pretending to read your book
but really you’re just watching all the people
it’s a spectacle and you’re there
to catch the air
to catch the air

but I don’t want things to change
why can’t they stay the same
I don’t wanna clip your wings
those words are heavy things
don’t want it to fade
this lovely thing we’ve made

wait
I wanted to wake you up
I wanted to say this right
but I just lay by your side all night
and watched you sleep
I wanted to wake you up
I wanted to say this right
but I just lay by your side all night
and watched you sleep
watched you sleep
watched you sleep
