First base You've never been more beautiful than you are right now Standing in front of me And I think I see your eyes on my lips And I weigh the risk of embarrassment and rejection against the feeling of your lips on mine And in a split second I decide it'll be worth it And I don't remember much of it But I like to imagine it was raining Like in "The Notebook" When our faces met and the world went quiet Second base We're making out in your bedroom and I feel your hand Tip-toeing up my thigh Hesitant And it's summer And it's one of those days So I take your hand and lead it the rest of the way And I let you do your thing And I try not to make that face that I make (No such luck) I hope you like me enough to ignore it or even like it Luckily you do Countdown Ignition Launch You hand me a towel And I say "I love you" and instantly regret saying it right after orgasming You see, 'cause, like, I love you all the time Not just because I just came But it made sense to say it right now I thought, but now it feels like I'm giving you a treat or something That's not the point any way Sorry for ruining the mood Umm want to watch "The Lord of the Rings"? Third base Don't worry I washed up thoroughly How about you? Do you like pineapple? Is that even real or a myth? Guess we'll find out Someone told me to do the alphabet But I keep getting stuck at "u" And I would love it if you pull my hair (Actually please do) I'll keep going You orgasm, you spasm You say you love me And I know you mean always and not just now So I keep going And then a bit Fourth base The americans call it the homerun The moon shot The wallop The slam The blast Going deep We cuddle We fondle We fiddle First base Second base Third base I always remember how in sex ed They told us it was all instinctual and I wouldn't have to think at all But see, here's the problem See, I've never really been good at not overthinking 'Cause I've got ADHD And I start thinking about how I can surprise my players in the next D&D session Or maybe if I've paid the bills Oh did we turn off the stove? No, wait, we got takeout Oh, I should've paused the movie actually Now we're gonna miss the good part but Oh You're doing that thing "I love you" F*ck, I did it again Fifth base Sex is getting boring and I start overthinking But you want more So I tie you down and realize that even a feminist Might really enjoy cumming in someone's face Sixth base You feel rejected and unattractive 'cause I'm too tired most nights Seventh base We talk about things we're passionate about They're not the same things And neither of us are listening Eighth base My eyes have started to wander when we're outside And maybe I am flirting a bit too much with that other girl Even though I won't even admit to it myself Ninth base You feel like I'm not prioritizing you And that I'd rather be with my friends And you're honestly completely right 'Cause you're so fucking uninteresting Tenth base I grow distant Eleventh base You miss me when we're together I forget you when we're not Twelfth base I've known for months that we should break up So I start treating you less and less carefully Like a phone you've had for about a year And you know you shouldn't But you'd kind of like to replace it And it'd be easier to justify it if the screen got smashed Or maybe you're just kind of hoping Or maybe I am just kind of hoping that The phone will just eventually leave me so I won't have to make the decision myself Thirteenth base You're crying almost every night Even if I'm right beside you Fourteenth base I get drunk a lot By the way, cheers guys! Fifteenth base You're afraid that you're somehow unlovable But then I write a poem with some thoughts on love And you think it's about you and that maybe we have a chance And so you don't give up yet Sixteenth base I finally break up with you Seventeenth base We're technically still friends But it turns out early twenty-something year old me is just not very good at staying friends with people who aren't A) very interesting, or B) beautiful people whom I haven't yet seen naked Eighteenth base I write a "super honest" poem about how I'm incapable of loving people properly Hoping people will take pity on me And maybe some girls might even find it sort of attractive somehow Maybe think my honesty is cute And maybe they'll be the right one to keep me interested and stuff Nineteenth base Five years later I write another verse And I can be more honest now And I was probably never going to keep trying after the third base anyway 'Cause the truth is maybe I just didn't like sex that much Or maybe we just weren't that compatible And maybe doing it anyway so many times when I didn't really want to Has affected me more than I will ever understand And now I don't really know how to feel about sex anymore And maybe I'm asexual Or maybe I'm demi? Like, it's hard to tell I guess I'm demi in practice But also I definitely like looking at hot people And I dated that one girl that I really liked having sex with (Those two or three times before we broke up) But I still didn't cum But maybe that was the antidepressants or the ADHD So who knows, and who cares Just, the thing is If you are to go out with me You should know that I don't mind going down on you and stuff It's just more for your sake than for mine I guess or something But that also just sounds like a pickup line, God I hate dating just so much I don't even know 'Cause I want to bring it up But also I don't want to be presumptuous or anything Like I don't know if you even want to have sex with me yet So anyway, now it's all right here in this stupid ass track That has gone on for way too long And I don't even think this qualifies as spoken word anymore Or maybe it does I guess I'm speaking words, so, I guess that's spoken word God, I hate this art form so much And this album is just getting increasingly incoherent by the minute And yeah, you're right, we actually put actual canned laughter in the beginning of this track 'Cause we couldn't be bothered to set up a show and record it live But I promise, I promise I've done it live before And people used to laugh at those moments, okay? I swear, ask anyone who was there Or don't, who cares It's just a stupid spoken word record Speaking of, let's get back to the album
