lyrics

you like the cemetery sunset better
in the summer weather
taking your supper there
leftovers from tupperware
i seen you through the trees
practicing your cantonese
arms in the air like 'does anybody get me?!'
the widow next door from Chile
wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam
i've been getting ten feet farther
from you every year
and now here I am

put yourself on my side of the mic
if you're wondering why it might have gone south
you took the oak, took the teak, took my youth
in the froth of the bath you took the oath from my mouth
tonight i gotta take the plunge
take the plunge with someone new
do i say yes to life
or do i say yes to you?

this is
this is
this is the size of my crush
my crush on you

two grown bodies grinding
is enough to make sparks fly
but i'm finding that a love that's binding
isn't something you just happen by

i have forgotten the spice of your cheek
and the meaning of your tattoos
i had a dream you were pregnant
and i was heading out to share the news
let's not blame a genie
for the love that turned to mush on you
this is
this is
this is the size of my crush on you
