Arlo Parks - Blades Lyrics

I'm exhausted watching like Claire Danes through the water
Catching 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 realized 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 the gravel, letting our backs burn
Walking to Boxers linking pinkies, 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 freezer
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 rosehip 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
