Soulmate
I'm waiting
tonight I'm waiting for your call,
last week I waited for your call
I've been waiting for years
I know, your straight
You like boys
You like men
I see us
Coming home to
The warmth of your body against mine,
I know,
You’re straight,
You like boys,
You like men,
You asked “who's the cutest guy in this class?”
And I lied,
Chose a random boy
I know your straight,
You like boys,
You like men,
Remember Jake,
The way he broke the smoke detector of your heart,
The way his flames wrapped you in the boiling pot
Remember Jacob
The mask of his smile hid his killer teeth
the baggy pants hid his thorny body.
Did I force you in a burning room?
Did I have thorns piercing your skin?
I couldn’t protect you,
Couldn’t wrap your heart in fire blankets,
Couldn’t be a firefighter of your mind,
I will be your fire extinguisher,
I will be your smoke detector
I know, your straight,
You like boys,
You like men,
what if I was a man?
I'm not saying I'd become a man for you,
But hell, I would.
I’m a woman,
I'm a man,
I'm straight,
I'm lesbian,
I'm smart,
Im stupid,
I'm neutral
Let's get one thing straight,
you are the dreams of my life
So I'll wait here,
Laying on my bed,
birds come and go on the latch of my window,
Fallen leaves, fallen colors, fallen flowers,
Leaves, colors, flowers,
Leaves, colors, flowers
I’m still waiting for your call.
