Knuckleball. lyrics by Ben Zaidi, Flowers of Bad

Verse 1
In the plenary, I watched you overcome everything
With a love like fire
And you said to me, „There’s some kind of hurricane happening”
And there I go panicking
The red of your eyes
How they shred through disguises
I’m gone, again
Would you leave a cup full for Elijah
And leave the tea on for me?

Chorus
I wanna love like you do, love like you do
I wanna love like you do, love like you do
I wanna love likе you do, love like you do
I wanna love likе you do

Verse 1
Doing donuts in the CVS
18 of Rainier thrown in the backpack
I’m never sober enough to be depressed
If the jig is over, I ain’t seen it yet
‘Til the blue light’s shining on my face
No endeavor’s gonna stop my pace
Tell my mom I’m coming, keep the water running
If I’m doing wrong at least I’m doing something
All I can tell is I’m here
All I can say is you’re not
Ain’t heard your voice in a year
But there’s not a word I forgot
You left me there at the swing set, just floating in the black
Hoping you could love me
You could love me
You could love me back

Chorus
And I know you don’t, I know you don’t
But I wanna love like you do
(Love like you do)
I wanna love like you do, love like you do
I wanna love like you do
I wanna love like you do, love like you do
I wanna love like you do
I wanna love like you do, love like you do
I wanna love like you do
