You open all your sentences saying "Don't take this the wrong way..." It's already been a long day and the night is far from over I am scatterbrained and scared I come tripping up the stairs and through the door And you're there Rooted to the floor And I don't dare disturb the peace I enter silently And I know you know it's me when I sit down next to you And as the stillness shakes my room I'm bathing in this ray of baby blue And I know I'm safe with you So when I say, "I love you" What I mean is, "I would pluck your eyeballs out I'd pop them in my sockets If it meant that I could see the world the way that you do" Yeah, when I say, "I love you" All I mean is, "Thank you for existing" I mean "You don't owe me nothing" No I don't need you to need me So if you really want me to leave Then I'm gone Because I know you need your space And I can't argue with the sense that makes But when your heart or body aches You can call me And you can use me like a crutch I'll be your comfort blanket of human touch And no it don't offend me none, honestly All I mean is When your back's pressed to my chest Your legs tangled in my legs With every simple breath You're safe with me
