Levi The Poet - Dancing with the Goblins lyrics

I’ve missed you since you’ve been
Gone i must confess
I am such a mess and these days
Just seem so long i’ve been smoking way too
Much again now that you are gone
And I struggle with porn a little bit
More as the loneliness wears on

I can lie to myself all
Day long until I believe
The corruption is tried and
True, but just because
I can appease my conscience doesn’t mean
That my failures don’t affect you and
I know if you didn’t want
Honesty you wouldn’t be with me, but
Now that you know everything
Am I everything you always wanted me to be?

Cause this city is laid out like
A massive machine and up above


The clouds I can see everything
When I look at her, and she looks at me –
That glow of city streetlights
(I am crystal clean)

I could have sat inside that coffee shop
All day long and watched Grandma
Death walk back and forth from the
Park to the Jack in the
Box to the park to the Jack in
The Box to the park to
The Jack in the Box to the
Park to the broken down
Boarded up shop and laugh
(as long as I was laughing
With you) Well you are
Bundled up so tight and I can see that
Look (of wonderment) in your eyes as I take your hand and we step outside into that beautiful
Cloudy Seattle sky and wonder where the sun
Went i want to sit on the
Step outside your green apartment and try to
Explain what happens to my heart
(when I see the city) it’s like
A clean start AND I WANT
TO DANCE WITH THE GOBLINS! and I want
To dance with you… and I wanna
Remember what it was like on the nights
That we missed each other again
Like our love was new!
(Like our love was real) Like there
Was emotion in your voice
When you told me you loved
Me and "I love you"
Was something that I could feel
And you’d kiss me like
You meant that you’d miss me
While you were gone
And I’d sing our favorite song… I’D
Be the voice in your dreams!

"Don’t stop calling
You’re the reason I love losing sleep"

This city is laid out like a massive machine
And it’s synched up so perfectly with all
Of my circuitry i am not a complicated human
Being: I just want to be loved
And I just want you to love me! I JUST WANT
To fall asleep to the sound of you breathing!
(That melody is sweeter than their "Colly
Strings") But the static on the
Phone lines is getting worse and worse
(and I can’t hear either
No I can’t hear anything)
This city is full of so
Many broken dreams and
So many beautiful memories - - - 1
465 miles from Albuquerque to Salt Lake to
Oregon to Seattle to Vivace’s Coffee
(to the park by your place) 23 hours
And 9 minutes on the interstate
And if I start driving now I
Can make it in a day

This city’s laid out like a broken machine
(ALLY! ALLY) Are you coming home
For me? I’m sorry
I haven’t written – it’s been a while
Since I’ve dreamed… It’s been a while since
I’ve acted on my hopes for anything (But
I miss your kiss) and my
Favorite thing is when
I can still taste the nicotine on your
Lips… could you tell me
That you’re crazy about
Me and act like you mean it?

This city breaks me down like a massive
Machine and if there is no
Hope for me, then forget it, I’ll
Just leave! I’m hitting the road, i miss
You so much when talk on the phone
But my letters are so sparse, i
Just wanted you to know: NO MATTER
How far i chase my dreams
My dream will always be you and me
(and I swear we’ll make a memory
Out of this solemn scene) Would
You have never loved at all
Or lost but loved completely?

Well i love you completely!
(and you love me enough to let me go)
