lyrics

Summer sweat staining all of the sheets
I’m wide awake while Gloria sleeps
It’s too hot for wasting time
It’s too hot to try to lie

When she wakes up it will be May
And you know what they always say:
If all the world is a stage
Then we better be on the same page

You’re the cliche that is true
You’re the sun behind the moon
You’re my favorite actor in my favorite role
The kind of book that gets better as you go
Gloria, I love you a lot
Gloria, I want the love that you got
Gloria, if you tell me to stop…
I’d respect your wish then promptly fall all apart

It sucks, I know
To work so hard just to never come home
Don’t get so close
I think it’s time to leave a girl alone
That’s how it goes
It always already is too slow
We get so high
OH MY GOD. It could be so simple!

People like to talk
Like to talk till their lips turn blue
Man, I just don’t care
About their shitty points of view

They say she never beat it
That California Feeling
Infectious if not treated
Nobody thinks you’re needed

Now I’ve sung what I should have said
Silly love songs stuck in my head
It’s like you told me on the phone:
“It’s so embarrassing to feel at all!!!”

Yeah, I would tend to agree
But baby there’s no stopping me
I’m always feeling it all at once
But too much is never enough

You’re the cliche that is true
You’re the sun behind the moon
You’re my favorite actor in my favorite role
Like the plunge in the gut right before a storm
Like the change from a minor to a major chord
Like the chill I get from ASMR
Like a night so clear you can see the stars
Like a song that sings who you really are
Like a twilight drive fast in your car
Like when we get so close after being far
Like the joy that comes from having so much time left
Like my joy when I wake up and you haven’t left

JESUS DIED FOR GLORIA’S SINS. AND THAT’S FINE.
