a la carte Lyrics

My favourite poem was the one I read to you

From the teleprompter on the tongue of my shoe

My flashbacks are a touch more resolute

Declaring thumb wars in the pocket of my suit

Take it, take it all down, take me all apart

You can have my tongue just promise you'll take it a la carte

Take it all, just don't take it all to heart

Thank God we turned the lights off, thank God, uh

Take it uh, take me all apart

You can have my tongue just promise you'll take it a la carte

Take it all, just don't take it all to heart

Thank God we turned the lights off, thank God, uh-uh

And what I never knew

I'd rather be inside my head than you

How many times? Well I couldn't count

'Cause it gets so deep and it goes so deep

I'm never pulling out

NYC, on a red eye free

'Cause they wanna take this and that

LLC, for the next LP and I'm never gonna give it back

Sleep deprived on my return flight

Fixated 'bout my hold on you

I don't usually care for the doom in the air

But it's feeling kinda overdue

My favourite poem's what I couldn't say to you

A joke that wasn't funny 'cause it's true

Flashbacks are a touch more resolute

So forgive me for the hesitant 'solute

Take it, take it all down, take me all apart

You can have my tongue if you take it a la carte

Take it all, just don't take it all to heart

Thank God we turned the lights off, thank God, uh

And what I never knew

I'd rather be inside my head than you

How many times?

I couldn't count

'Cause it gets so deep I go so deep

I'm never pulling out

Took you south

Guess I got my jaw agape, now I'm a cotton mouth

Why do I feel so unsafe? What am I worried 'bout

Got sedated sipping 80 proof

Skip the winter season like it's pay-per-view

It ain't you, I'm just caught up in my own shit, licking wounds

I know it isn't state of the art but the plate's a la carte

Would you like course two?

(I don't really think I'm perfect)

And what I never knew

(I don't really think I'm—, I don't really think I'm perfect)

Could— could I be inside my head with you?

Freaked out tryna fuck you right

I know you never grade looks, still feel like a five

But you said if we make love and I start to cry that

I can let it all out, shouldn't rationalize but God damn

Do I deserve that you can't hear me now?

It just gets so deep, and it goes so deep

Now that I'm peering down

My favorite poem was the one I read to you

On the tongue of my shoe

Flashbacks are a touch more resolute

So forgive me, please forgive me, ahh

Take me all apart

You can have my tongue if you take it a la carte

Take it all, just don't take it all to heart
