My eyes on a manhole
_____
Your hands on my face
_____
And mine on your mandolin butt
_____
And we barely get through together
_____
Maybe we grab a drink
_____
Except your stolen kisses at night still hanging
_____
But we stay lit anyway
_____
Despite your wounded dreams
_____
Like lampposts, streamers, two shadow puppets
_____
And I hadn't understood all your troubles
But tomorrow I swear we'll leave
And I promise we'll sleep
And we do whatever we want
_____
And if you want we can fight later
_____
But please don't say "I love you"
Cause then we'll start again
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
Cause then we'll start again
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
And we've got rust on our hands
Cause it's been raining for months
Cause it's raining on me, yeah
And you work on your thesis
_____
And I've ruined everything
And all the words we spent
_____
The lips, the regrets, the rage, your bites still hanging
_____
Despite your wounded dreams
_____
Like lampposts, streamers, two shadow puppets
_____
And I hadn't understood all your troubles
_____
But tomorrow I swear we'll leave
And I promise we'll sleep
_____
And we do whatever we want
_____
And if you want we can fight later
_____
But please don't say "I love you"
Cause then we'll start again
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
Cause then we'll start again
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
But tomorrow I swear we'll leave
And I promise we'll sleep
_____
And we do whatever we want
_____
And if you want we can fight later
_____
But please don't say "I love you"
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
_____
Please don't say "I love you"
