I Like You Most

Slowreader

nothing i say leaves this room

so don't leave cause you might miss what i want to say

for the first time much like most of last time when

you were born and i was made

out of two decades worth of whatever

and a half tank of gasoline

spilling in vain, bonding with concrete

asking your name, over and over

fatally dosing on nourishment means you had

too much already inside

if the standards go up then back down again

i'll be the first one in line

and you're bright eyes are giving me sunburns

and the grandstands are filling with headlines

you like me when i'm not being stubborn

but i like you most all the time

anchored by my need to know you outside of your window

in plain view of pigeons and bums

but you're so unpredictable when you've been

drinking all night again

mid-morning turns to late-evening in seconds

you're a sweetheart, i'm a sinner

it could never not work

you're the best part of your sweet heart

god i feel like a jerk

my blanket and bones finally found a new home in the

backdrop of lampshaded light

in the counterfeit culture i'll live like a

king for the rest of the night

if it seems like you're slipping in value

i can offer you some of the skyline

you like me when i'm not waiting for you

but i like you most all the time
