Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm exhausted

Watching like Claire Danes through the water

Kitchen light like blades through your body

The party's ablaze

We grew apart when you were fighting with your sister

I don't think I realised how horribly I missed you

Now regret is flowering inside me while I'm scooping ice

[Chorus]

Hope you know that I, I just don't know what to do

'Cause I only want to be with you

[Verse 2]

I remember there was something strangely romantic

In our friendship, we were dramatic

I wept in your arms

Talking for hours on the gravel, letting our backs burn

Walking to Boxers, linking pinkies, wearing matching pearls

And now I'm struggling, I'm choking up without the words

[Chorus]

Hope you know that I, I just don't know what to do

'Cause I only want to be with you

I just miss your voice

Say you've been alright

Callin' when you're lonely, late at night

'Cause I only want to be with you

[Bridge]

So I make my way

Over as the white lightning zigzags

And you're with Ahmed

Plum-red slacks and tequila fresa

And you laugh the same

Hand on mouth 'cause you hate your teeth

And I love your teeth

And I'm scared to speak

'Cause I catch a whiff of your rosetip tea

[Chorus]

But I, I just don't know what to do

'Cause I only want to be with you

I just miss your voice

Say you've been alright

Callin' when you're lonely, late at night

'Cause I only want to be with you

[Outro]

Only want to be with you

I only want to be with you

Only want to be with you
