Division

I hear your songs in waves through nightmares
Made to touch me, your words have improved.
I wish we could be just friends but make love through art--
My breath on your music, your dick in my prose.

I took all the drugs, wrote poetry about you and daddy issues
While dreaming to Joy Division, nostalgic for something I never even had.
Love will tear us apart, again...
Could there be truth in that, my dear?

You know me, though I've made it a fact to change
To disguise myself from you
I'm the wolf dressed as a sheep, as a grandma, as your worst enemy.
Baby don't let love tear us apart.

Please don't let love tear us apart, this time.
I don't want any lover, I just want your company.
I think of you every day.
But that doesn't mean enough, does it?

Our history won't allow us to be platonic.
Too much love made in ghost cars to Sonic Youth.
We were a hot mess, you and I.
It seems like now we don't have a choice, for awhile.

We have a long way to go
Our separate ways are the hardest ways
I'm getting stronger for you, in the future Marty.
I hope you are doing the same.

Please don't let love tear us apart.

I got a few more years of playing
Louise Brooks with a coke nose
You got a few more years of playing
Brad Pitt with a guitar.

It'll all be over soon.
One day we'll get high on scales and rhymes.
You know I'll always love and despise you,
As soulmates often do.

Love will tear us a new one
Again.
