Little World

from The FAWM EP 2022 by Skye Zentz

lyrics

On weeknights in your dormitory
We made up radio plays
Silly voices, improv songs
We would laugh the whole night long
But all the humor halted in your gaze

We’d get high and go out on adventures
Bring along our cameras and pens
you would sketch stuff we would find
and I would try to read your mind
To determine whether we were more than friends

Help me read this right
cause I don't know what I'll find
are you some kind of brother or a cousin
or the love of my life
I guess i don't have to know tonight

We’d get drunk on little penguin
make up characters and scenes
i'd pretend to be your boss
you'd pretend you were my lover
and my heart would thump so loud that i could scream

and when you drew me in your bedroom
Me, sitting naked in your chair
you chuckled underneath your breath
said that you'd just drawn my breast
it was hard pretending that i didn't care

help me read this right
cause i don't know what i'll find
are you some kind of sadist or my best friend
or the love of my life
i guess i don't have to know tonight

and you took me to your hometown
and I even met your folks
and we went to all the thrift stores
And had all the inside jokes
and you flirted with my roommate
and you dated my friend
and you told me all your secrets
and i kept them

so there it is wrapped up in tissue
this little world that i kept safe
where i could hide away my love
but couldn’t call it what it was
i guess i thought that i could keep you that way
