You're never on the fence

It's only present tense

We'll get intimate

Forty minutes 'til we're only friends

Put your clothes back on

So you don't string me along

There's no pillow talk

Empty conversation, then you're gone

You told me how this has to go

God, it feels unnatural

To love someone occasionally

Pretend they're on the side

When they're the centerpiece

Something casual, transactional

Is slowly killing me

'Cause you want me sometimes

When I want you constantly

There's some things we won't bring up

Like how I give you just enough

'Cause every time you disappear

Then you come back every couple months (come back every couple months)

Say what we have is practical

Because it isn't difficult

To love someone occasionally (to love someone occasionally)

Pretend they're on the side

When they're the centerpiece

Something casual, transactional

Is slowly killing me

'Cause you want me sometimes

When I want you constantly

One side of tension at the table

From everything that I'm able

Overthinking's my only feeling

Maybe I should just be grateful

To love someone occasionally

To cry in my room the second that you leave

Something casual, transactional

Is slowly killing me

'Cause you want me sometimes

When I want you constantly
