Do I Keep Things Warm For Nothing

Temperature dropped. Turtleneck
My cheeks are numb where is the breath that fogs my glasses?
You starve me from any form of communication
Why am I punished for fantasies we both daydreamed in
I've been trying to keep my cool like fresh baked pumpkin pie
Resting on a windowsill
But I've been thinking about ways of hurting you
I want to wrap my knuckles in your shirt
But smell your scent and do the opposite of argue
Plan our next hot air balloon
Kissing knuckles to say that I'm here and I support you
But why did we spill our guts
Deviated from the schematics
And now I'm fishing leaves out of a pool
Wishing for warmer weather back

To be the ice cube you sip on between your lips
As you thirst for water in summers chest
You have quenched your dehydration with other things
Moving past me like a new high score in an arcade game
One by one the fantasy loses its fame
But please remember I am love and not a summer fling
You traded your halo for sunglasses
What are you thinking now

This chill at my neck a constant reminder that you don't have my back
Those red flags get red-er
I can't see a thing when I look at those clouds
But then I tilt my head and yes I think I see it now
I still save my quarters for the ice cream truck
When summer comes around it will be sweeter
My fingers in your mouth cause you can't get enough
Ice cream will drip drop on the roof top when we catch up

It feels better when I pretend
You and I are here
No awkward silence
We're collided
Devil on your shoulder is quiet
The sunflower in me bends at the thought of my champion coming around
And warming the waters again
There is danger when I pretend
Wounded in my prime
Like an illness in my mind
I self sabotage all the time
Should I fall in love
There is no one else that will measure up to all that I want with you

So do I keep things warm for nothing
And is good chemistry between us still good for something
In my mind we are stuck at that horizon
Where the sun felt free to be herself
How disappointed she will be when she finds me all by myself
