3 Weeks - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

In the quiet place where there is love and grace

I don't care that you have a girlfriend

That we almost share a face

I want you to be happy

I love and I love you even though I've only known you for three weeks

Now the tides have turned and I'm the young one and my face is fresh and open

And I'm holding onto what is still unbroken

And you tell me you quit smoking

And I say your name out loud

Cause I'm happy for you also cause I like the way your name feels in my mouth

My mouth

I want to tell you that I love you but it's not thе time

I wear velvеt so you'll touch me on the back tonight

I don't mean to throw my feelings in your open eyes

Open eyes

Full of light

Sometimes I look right at you but there's no reason so I shift my gaze to the side

And we are sitting at the desk and you are mixing all the bands

And I'm watching as your hands move the faders up and down

And I am changing all the lights onstage, turning them to darkness so I wallow in my angst

Wallow in my rage

And you remind me that my fingernails are painted

I am trying to have fun

I am trying to get paid but there is something in you showing me

That days come after days

There is no end, only ocean

There is ocean and I have to ride the wave

The wave

I want to tell you that I love you but it's not the time

I wear velvet so you'll touch me on the back tonight

I don't mean to throw my feelings in your open eyes

I threw my bag into the bed of your truck as you open the door

You shift the gears until we're here, I try to tell you that you matter more

We hug goodbye I take my bike out and I look back through the window

I turn around to walk away and you are driving towards your pillow

I want to tell you that I love you but it's not the time
