PATIENT ROLE feat. A​.​J. Crew

from HAHA YEAH by Basic Printer

/

lyrics

I know you know me too well to know that I am doing badly
Save me, tell me, I need to know I’m needed
I need to know I’m healthy
I’m begging for empathy, know me

Too small, not tall, weakness emanates
Leap of faith into your arms
Catch me, please get me
Lovely, please hold me by the shoulders
I’m needing to get closer
I’m needing to get warmer
Tighter

So sick, need it
Give me everything
Anything that I could need
Please, take me
Brush the dirt and the soot up off my shoulders
Then take me to your shower, and clean my back biblically
Maybe

Our love is like a nurse carefully, tepidly checking in regularly
‘cept the patient role switches on the daily
First it’s you, then it is me
So who gets the good stuff today, ‘cause I’m scarred and feeling sickly
And I need your loving quickly, regardless

(A.J. Crew)

I need it, I want it since we had started
The center of attention, we flip reciprocal on it
Please give me a shot of love and put it where my arm is
And do it with a calmness
Girl, you know that people feel different ‘bout (vaccines!)
When I ask about you, reactions are past mean
I ain’t think that loving you is controversy
I just tell em stop it
Cuz if you are a virus, in the future I can block it
But I gotta be inside it in order for me to face it
The rapid test results but is the printer way too basic?

(Basic Printer)

Always band aid, never antidote
Never knows what it takes to solve this ailed body
Honey, you know we are together
You know we are conjoined
Your heart poisons with mine
Try
