I remember I wanted to tell you, "I love you," when I told you, "I like you" You said we could meet up again, up in Athens over the summer I remember I wanted to tell you when you sat in the back of that philosophy class But I couldn't bring myself to do it Because those three damn words ended my last three relationships So now we sit in the botanical gardens Waiting for the flowers to give me the oxygen To filter my lungs And go to my brain To give me the thoughts To ration the heart to ask you now I wanna give you a six finger handshake Not around your hand, but your body, if that makes sense I just want to see what we can make And if we can draw the most out from the less I wanna be friends I wanna be more than friends I wanna be brothers I wanna be your significant other Or maybe something more specific than that I want you to mold me however to your heart's content So I can be the clay on top of your pedestal And you can be my Patrick Swayze Though I know you don't get that reference yet (But soon you will) I was stuck in a hospital in Valdosta for twelve whole days I would've gotten out of there sooner if my Doc wasn't so fixated on drugging me up Instead of realizing what Asperger's was I left there with more problems than I came in with You called me the day right after I got out You had so much concern in your voice Turns out that was just the way you talked But in that moment you were also expressing concern My tongue and lips were all swollen And my body would just constantly stiffen Turns out, that was just a common reaction To the medication I blame it on the misdiagnosis, but oh well Oh well I remember I was on the verge of slurring all my words out in Blackbird's But you knew to be patient! And I appreciate you for that I appreciate you for a lot of other reasons But that is the one to which I will always return I wanna give you a six finger handshake Not around your hand but your bodice! If that makes sense I wanna give unto you more than I take Because you're a person deserving of that kind of love I wanna show you the world I wanna show the world you I wanna give you it all I wanna give you what's due Because your rabbit-like anxiety has haunted you for far too long You see the universe in amazing detail Perhaps a little too outstanding for you to handle But that's okay because I'll there to pick you up no matter what And I know we have issues of our own But we can work on them And get better together Together forever Forever unsevered And I know not everything's set in stone But we can do that when we're dead Because right now we're fluid And we don't care that our bones tell us otherwise As long as we're together I'm certain we'll make it to the other side I know that you're scared But I'll be there to protect you every time I wanna give you a six finger handshake Well it doesn't even need to make sense to us anymore We can dance to communicate and leave all our languages at the door We can make our own music, kudzu leaves all on the floor We can build our world, and still have things left to explore I can tell we have different worlds to express But when we act on them it seems like we just do it to transgress The way you wanna be makes me think you're better off as a hermit But the way that I talk out makes you think that I am looking for a death wish I know it's hard to explain your discomfort In fact I know it's more irrational to ask for you to do so Nothing's wrong with either state It's just hard for me to congregate with you Knowing what you're looking for But in the end Who are we But empty cells Transforming I don't know how it feels To be scared of drugs You don't know how it feels To be scared of love We don't know how it feels To be either or So I guess that we will Wait for it In the end To begin In the end We'll begin I'm sorry I'm so selfish I've just been hellishly embellishing Everything I've been writing down I just wish I could do the same thing for these chords So all my words for you will perfectly align I'm slowly turning into you And that would be okay If we just both didn't hate ourselves Cuz now I'm scared that you'll hate me too I'm sorry I've just grown so attached That I'm terrified of the withdrawal I've already been through a week without my medicine Your love for me is heaven-sent But I'm scared that I'm bleeding you dry And this oasis is just a mirage My intrusive thoughts will form a collage And now my visions blurry again But then you say it all will be okay And that's enough for me to remain sane Sorry for breaking down back there haha! Listen, I know I'm not the best at writing stuff that make other people feel good But you know more than anyone that practice makes perfect People keep telling me that the best songs are always the saddest ones As if they haven't heard "Run Away With Me" by Carly Rae Jepsen Or really anything from her ground-breaking, critically acclaimed 2015 album E-MO-TION I don't really know where I was going with that to be honest But, but, but look, the whole point is that I'm tired of trying to fight my fires with more fire Especially when it comes with the added bonus of pessimistic elitism in all kinds of art I'm tired of having to look at my compassion as a weakness When it's the best drug I've ever taken And it's all thanks to you Woah hey! Somebody get Will Toledo on the phone I just want him to pick up and pass the celly to my partner I just wanna see their face light up like When they met 100 gecs Outside that Brockhampton concert It was somewhat awkward But we get to relish in the moment right afterwards We're living life just as we know it Woah hey! Someday I pray to get Wolfgun and Tally Hall To play our anniversary somehow But I hope this song will do for now Because I got a long way to go Til I'm in the Low Yoyo Hendershot's, 40 Watt's, then to Clocked I wanna be your peanut butter falafel burger with pistachio ice cream on top Or you know, something just as important I still have that heart-shaped leaf that you found Last June on the dashboard of my car It's dried up a bunch and I still hear the crunch Every time that I turn the defroster on But it's been there for almost a year now If that's not a sign, then I don't know what And with these metaphors out of the way I just wanna hold you and say Wïmutu I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you! Oh love, love I love you oh oh I love you oh oh I love you, love you, oh Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh I'll love you until my heart stops beating But as long as you're here My heart will never stop beating for you My heart will never stop beating for you Oh oh I'll love you even when we lose all of our form Cuz you know that our souls will go on to become something more We'll extend to become something more Oh oh oh I wanna give you a six finger handshake So I can show you a flower with steel for a stem I wanna give you a six finger handshake I love you so much
