Lovejoy - Call Me What You Like (2023)

I never was a fan of the internet
She never felt that safe in her own head
We both hate the news
There for the grace of God goes you
Smiling when I ask if she’s bored yet
Wonder if we took it too far
Both taste confused
Darling, what am I to do?

I like to think that I’m
The only guy she’ll see tonight
You can call me what you like
As long as you call me

And you can kiss the skin from my lips til it makes you feel good
I’m not sure if you want it, not sure if you need me too
And you can taste the beer on every guy who talks to you
But you can’t stay awake forever
No you can’t stay awake forever

So I find myself in your mum’s bedroom
Fighting with the pink roller blinds
It’s on pay-per-view
Place your bets on who’s lost their mind
Take a pirouette under duvet set
Sigh with perfect pitch and with time
I’m not made for you
But what else is new?
Oh, lord she tells me that it’s nothing
I really hope it’s nothing

And you can kiss the skin from my lips til it makes you feel good
I’m not sure if you want it, not sure if you need me too
And you can taste the beer on every guy who talks to you
But you can’t stay awake forever
No you can’t stay awake forever

This just in; I am a total fucking dumbass
And I’ve come to the uncomfortable conclusion I’ll be spending the rest of my life in a state of constant paranoia
Just let me follow you
And I’ll proceed to bang my head on every doorway and doorframe you see suitable for us to go through And I’ve found that the road to happiness is paved
With rows and rows of very tempting parking spaces
I’m not paranoid, I’m a realist
I know you’re gonna kill me!

And you can kiss the skin from my lips til it makes you feel good
I’m not sure if you want it, not sure if you need me too
And you can taste the beer on every guy who talks to you
But you can’t stay awake forever No you can’t stay awake forever
