When We Are Together

Our first kiss was Christmas in the Walmart toy department

You said I should take you with me when I leave

We were searching New York for a fancy, new apartment

She said ‘Central Park is Sea World for trees’

You ask about the cows wearing my sweater

‘It’s something about the weather that makes them lie down’

The only time I feel I might get better

Is when we are together

I like socks with sandals, she’s more into scented candles

Oh, I’ll never get that smell out of my bag

It was poorly handled, the day we both got cancelled because I’m a racist and you’re some kind of slag

You ask about the cows wearing my sweater

‘It’s something about the weather that makes them lie down’

The only time I feel I might get better

Is when we are together

‘I’m better at writing’ was just a way to get you biting, oh the truth is that our egos are absurd

I thought we were fighting but it seems I was ‘gaslighting’ you. I didn’t know that it had its own word

You still ask about the cows wearing my sweater

‘It’s something about the weather that makes them lie down’

The only time I feel I might get better

Is when we are together
