Story behind the song
i was stuck in my writing so i asked a friend for a word to write off of. he gave me the word "destitute", and so i wrote this song.
Lyrics
destitute in my need for you
bare feet on warm sidewalk
all i can do not to lie down there
my body outlined in chalk
and sleep like this turns my lips blue
when smiles are as cheap as talk
it’s step after step in my tender want
in childish regret, it’s block after block
i broke a window, i crashed a party
i took a breath and said i’m sorry
and time stood still, i closed my eyes
but you took me by surprise
destitute in my need for you
indignant toward the lucky few
who do not lie on yellow lines
who send letters sincerely signed
and if you want to hold my hand
i promise that i’d understand
and if you want to touch my spine
i promise that i wouldn’t mind
i wouldn't mind
