lyrics

Sloane
You’re the best I’ve ever known
Sloane
You’re the best I’ve ever known

You can peel the garlic
I will cut the onions
I don’t mind the tear gas
I’ve done worse than cry
You can light the candles
I know that’s your favorite
Anything to please you

I intend to make myself the
Bachelor of Texarkana
For my love and sweet devotion
Is too much to give one person

Sloane
Rode my bike all the way home
Sloane
Would you pick me up a beer on your way back
Sloane
I’ve waited many years on your way back
Sloane
Of all the people I have known

I’ve never met someone quite as cool as you are
We can finish cooking and eat in the front yard
Voluntary fasting for your new religion
Testing out mechanics
I intend to start a small fire
In an empty pyre
I will tend to my dear small fire
For my own survival x4

You make me nervous
Of course, not on purpose
It’s only the weight, of those tennis ball eyes
There’s mystery about you
One that won’t crack on the side of my pan
My cast iron pan
You make me nervous
Of course, not on purpose
It’s only the weight of those tennis ball eyes
There’s mystery about you
One that won’t crack on the side of my pan
For breakfast demands
