Dream Lover/Squid Suit

dream lover, come and find me.
i've been here but i've been hiding.
we'll make love like memories of a kitchen.
in the house where you grew up with your brother in the tub,
mother lying down and now you're wishing they would leave so you could cry.
your squid suit only isolates you.
i wish i had their eyes.
i'd make 'em see how beautiful it is.

dream lover, come and find me.
i've been here but i've been hiding.
we'll make love to remedy all the christmases
spent in the front yard throwing up
the years of hurt and days of drugs and now they want you up for a family portrait.
if they would leave, then you could cry.
your squid suit only isolates you.
i wish i had their eyes.
i'd make 'em see how beautiful it is.

dream lover, come and find me.
i've been here but i've been hiding.
despite our mistakes, we still deserve this.
like high schoolers in camouflage,
a pain so big it forms a pond but years from now the pond becomes a forest.
if they would leave, then you could cry.
your squid suit only isolates you.
i wish i had their eyes.
i'd make 'em see how beautiful it is.
and i wrote by their portrait of the sea:
"i'll still love you when the ocean tugs you from me.
" i'll still love you. i'll still love you. oh, i still love you. oh.
