Arlo Parks: Weightless

Cardamom and jade as your eyes screamed
On the night you showed your volcanic side
And I'm afraid to need validation
Waiting for the day when you finally tried

The sandflies and the champagne
You're closed off, I'm so drained
But a sparkle in the rare case
That you tell me I'm your sunray
I'm starved of your affection
You're crushed under the pressure
But you won't change
No, you won't change

I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you so I won't go

.. and you caught me
Re-reading our texts from the strawberry days
Just give me a sign if you want me
Just give me a sign if you wanna stay

There's blue glass in the soft rain
You're passive, I'm in pain
But a sparkle in the rare case
That you tell me I'm your sunray
I'm starved of your affection
You're crushed under the pressure
But you won't change
No, you won't change

I don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
But I need you so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you so I won't go

And I usually know my strength
But here I am at ninety degrees bent
A metallic taste at the back of my throat
Watch your deltoid flex as you cough on the phone
And I've lost my grit and I'm in my head
You're so withdrawn and I'm standing there
Keeping wool over my eyes
Keeping wool over my eyes

I don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
But I need you so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
But I need you so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you so I won't go
