[Arlo Parks - Blades lyrics]

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 miss you now regret is flowering inside me
While I'm scooping ice

Hope you know that I
I just don't know what to do
'Cause, I only want to be with you

I remember there was
Something strangely romantic
In our friendship, we were dramatic
I wept in your arms
Talking for hours on thе gravel
Letting our backs burn
Walking to Boxers linking pinkiеs
Wearing matching pearls
And now I'm struggling
I'm choking up without the words

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

So I make my way
Over as the white lightning zigzags
And you're with Ahmed
Plum red slacks and tequila fraser
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

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
Only want to be with you

I only want to be with you
Only want to be with you
