lyrics

Eyes meet smiles and small talk and questions
And there’s no thought to the motivation you’ll need down the road
You start by gambling nights then weeks and months
And like a serious poker match it gets more serious
Like lifetimes and I don’t know shit I didn’t want this

But there was a wanting
When I hadn’t wanted for anything
And there are long hairs in my clothes
And pillows that smell like you for days
And there’s a dopamine release in my brain that I can’t stop chasing
And it’s crazy how long I can last off of that
I haven’t figured out lasting
Lasting and leaving
Neither appealing

I get back to the lasting
The last thing I keep are the mornings
I lose the nights and the days

It’s the price for love
It’s the price for being loved
