Arlo Parks – Blades Lyrics

 

Blades Lyrics

 

I’m exhausted
Watching like Claire Danes through the water
Kitchen light like blades through your body
The party’s ablaze
We grew apart when you were fighting with your sister, I
Don’t think I realized how horribly I miss you now
Regret is flowering inside me while I’m scooping ice
Hope you know that I
I just don’t know what to do
‘Cause I
Only wanna be with you
I remember
There was something strangely romantic
In our friendship, we were dramatic
I wept in your arms
Talking for hours on the gravel, letting our backs burn
Walking to Boxers linking pinkies, wearing matching pearls
And now I’m struggling, I’m choking up without the words
Hope you know that I, I just don’t know what to do
‘Cause I only wanna be with you
I just miss your voice, say you’ve been alright
Calling when you’re lonely, late at night
‘Cause I only wanna be with you
So I make my way over as the white lightning zigzags
And you’re with Ahmed, plum red slacks and tequila frazer
And you laugh the same, hand on mouth ’cause you hate your teeth
And I love your teeth and I’m scared to speak
‘Cause I catch a whiff of your rosetip tea
And I, I just don’t know what to do
‘Cause I only wanna be with you
I just miss your voice, say you’ve been alright
Calling when you’re lonely, late at night
‘Cause I only want to be with you
Only wanna be with you
O-only wanna be with you
Only wanna be with you
