A Wish | Jan 18th 2006
I wish to feel smaller
under your sheets.
I wish for the whole truth
every time you speak.
I’m thinkin’ about how you care half as much for me
While I watch you arrive, smoke cigarettes, sleep…
And I guess it doesn’t matter what I say or what I seem
You stuck what I felt for you in the pocket of your jeans
Ignoring me the morning after
isn’t enough
and I swear I’m gonna cry.
I’m sick of tryin’ to be tough.
And my blood won’t stick
To the confines of my veins.
And your heart
Is gonna tear mine away.
And I wish to feel smaller under your hands,
though you seem satisfied as you slip mine
down your pants.
And I’m thinkin’ about how you care half as much for me
While you lift up my shirt after asking politely.
And I guess it doesn’t matter what I am or pretend to be
Cuz it’s her you’ll always love and it’s her I’ll always envy.
I want to end this now so dreams of you won’t keep me up.
But I swear I’m gonna cry.
I’m sick of tryin’ to be tough.
And my blood won’t stick
To the confines of my veins.
And your heart
Is gonna tear mine away.
And it’s hard to find
What I want
When it’s buried beneath the biggest rock.
I could pay lots of money
To help lift it with machines
But I’m not sure you’d cooperate.
Not sure you’d come clean.
And I wish to feel smaller
under your sheets.
I wish for the whole truth
every time you speak.
And I’m thinkin’ about how you care half as much for me
As I watch you arrive, smoke cigarettes, sleep.
And I guess it doesn’t matter what I say or what I seem
You stuck what I felt for you in the pocket of your jeans.
Ignoring me the morning after isn’t enough
and I swear I’m going to cry.
I’m sick of tryin’ to be tough.
Yeah, I swear I’m gonna cry.
I’m sick of tryin’ to be tough.
And my blood won’t stick
To the confines of my veins.
And your heart
Is gonna tear mine away.
Is gonna tear mine away
This song is absolutely beautiful.

I adore this song… and all of these songs for that matter. I find them totally relatable, and it’s funny how some lyrics are so angry, but sang in such an adorable voice! I simply adore it.

I’m well into this song at the moment it’s as fresh as drinking milk from a cow’s udder. And that’s pretty fresh.

i love this song beyond reasoning. it reminds me of just about any time that i’ve liked someone who could never love me back and it’s so inspiring as well. gregory and the hawk, your lyrics are intangibly amazing, and i love you for that.

first of all, gregory and the hawk is the greatest band in the whole world and this is by far my favorite song just because the lyrics relate to every single relationship i have ever been in.
this song makes me feel a lot from my past and i love it
