lyrics

Carve out your name with my mouth.
Never feels good as the first time.
Sizing syllables up,
Hard consonants won.

And a slide,
to the finish line.

Corey.

Lean back and set your stare through.
Chemistry's cooking from across the room.
Metal chairs have a way to conduct,
A shiver, a spark, a rush.

Florescent lights giving me away.
Thought that I'd safely stay,
Ahead of your gaze.

But I'm happy to take,
A glance in your periphery.
That'd be enough for me.

Corey.

Corey, I think you're bad news for me.
But I'll never know until I get used to it.
Corey, you're like a sip of the booze for me.
One drink is too many,
A thousand is never enough.

A thousand is never enough.

Carve out your name with my mouth.
Never feels good as the first time.
Sizing syllables up.
Hard consonants won.

And now I,
Hope I see you again.
I'd like to be your friend,
Thanks for your story.

But I'm happy to take,
A glace in your periphery.
That'd be enough for me,
Corey.
