Lantern Flies

Lantern flies and coughing up my lungs
Wishing that we met when were young
Praying that the train don't choose to come
Before we've crossed the tracks
Living meal to meal on your sweet words
Opening another can of worms
Knowing now that even when it hurts
You'll still pick up my slack
I gave you my summer
I spent all my love
And I'll never ask for it back
I don't know what winter will do to us
But we don't have to think about that
I'm here til you need me to leave
Picking fights and hoping you get stung
Learning how you lived when you were young
Sleeping in your bedroom
Thinking of you as a child and drawing blood
I'm sentimental, critical, and stoned
I can't survive just talking on the phone
I need you like a nightlight guiding
Co-existing, making you a home
I gave you my summer
I spent all my love
And I'll never ask for it back
I don't know what winter will do to us
But we don't have to think about that
I'm here til you need me to leave
I'll be who you need me to be
I'll swim til the salt makes me clean
I'm here til you need me to leave
