Mars Cheese Castle

Mama called and you're booking a flight to go home
Tell me you'll be alright, you exhale on the phone
I smell it on your breath, that you started again
I don't judge you I just know it fucks with your head

Been in Brooklyn ten years but you're a midwest man
You won't burden your woman with feelings you have
So I'll stay up all night here I'm hatching a plan

And your body's so hot
Kick the comforter off
And I always ran cold
Before you were my home
Don't you know that I know that you're strong enough
Don't you know you can cry in my arms

Mars cheese castle
Land of the cows
Land of real men
Never really felt like you fit in
I know how that goes

Call me a hassle
For teasing out your truth
You'd rather stay quiet
But I dig in to you

Remember at the beginning when we took it slow
Couldn't stare in your eyes, didn't know how to hide
Dug my toes in the grass, as the gravity left
And I wanted so bad to just float away

Then I called you up crying like a little kid
Getting dropped off at daycare and not knowing if
You were coming back for me, you told me you were
And you told me how much that you cared for me

Said this is going to sound unromantic
But I just have no interest getting swept off my feet
So I lead with my head but darling that don't mean
That my heart isn't beating just as fast as yours

Cross the border we're driving up 94
Watch your face take it in, heavy yet comforting
You're a different person when the farmland rolls in
You're a different person when someone you love's sick

Try to lighten the mood but to no avail
Try to unearth your spark but it's cold and it's dark
Till you smile and you point as we pass by
Our favorite landmark

Mars cheese castle
Land of the cows
Land of real men
Never really felt like you fit in
I know how that goes

Call me a hassle
For teasing out your truth
You'd rather stay quiet
But I dig in to you
