i want to be your friend just a step below holding hands well i could learn a lot about you and that's ann i want to do meet people from your past share a meal, share a laugh spend the night and sleep in separate beds i want to be a gentleman's gentleman everyone's out to get laid but i want to be proud of the choices i make well yeah i want to show respect i want to be a gentleman's gentleman i won't kiss i won't touch i won't let my emotions get the best of us

i'm an intellectual lover reading under the covers storing up in the winter so i'll be ready for summer intellectual lover and i'm thinking of you i've been forming my plan to make you my man i'll be trying to impress with jean-luc godard's breathless intellectual lover and i'm thinking of you you've suppressed what's been on your chest give your body some rest and use your mind to express that you're an intellectual lover and you're thinking of me.

sick as a dog moist and soft i can feel my lungs rot i've been written off bed stuck checking my symptoms and reading up can't bear to swallow what's in this cup let's just give up kiss on the cheek forget the burning when i breathe can't speak if you want to could you cure me please cold hands unwrapping my medicine sometimes it feels like sin is an infection
5.
stop please could ya give me some space to breathe? every day i need a moment to hear you say that you won't break my heart i wonder if you'll break my heart again go and think about what you did to me and maybe then you'll feel some kind of emotion that's real take me back how can i take what i haven't left? i thought we were still a thing but maybe now i should rethink why can i see our relationship flashing before me? is the end near? or am i just insecure? scared to be left again by a wolf in sheep's clothing? i couldn't bear that scar i've just come too far so i broke your heart (instead).
6.
i've got nothin left to give my faith was shaken my missing rib i've got plenty to do in the work of the lord i've got things to love and things to abhor i had my chance and you had yours i've seen a man lifeless on the floor as he breathed his last breath he brought me in close and the things he said were straight from the book as he lay dead, his body was broke no soul to live on, no puff of smoke as a flame at wicks end, that man was gone remembering his promise, it won't be long so until that day i won't be bored i've got plenty to do in the work of the lord i hope you make it truth be told seek forgiveness, forget this world so don't look for me when the world falls apart i'm not the one who can read your heart.
