  • When I asked you to coffee
    Could you tell I don't drink it?
    When I got to the cafe
    Could you tell what I was thinking?
    My heart's on my sleeve, it's embarrassing
    The pulpy thing, beating

    When you asked my age, I lied
    I saw relief dawn on your eyes
    It's not your fault, it's mine
    Let the record show
    I walked in on my own

    Knee deep in the city that never sleeps
    I lay down in the middle of the street
    Lamplight like parallel suns
    Crowding out the early morning stars
    Concrete holding heat from the daytime
    Picking petals to see if you will be mine

    Do you love me, do you love me not?
    Do you love me, do you love me not?
    Do you love me, do you love me not?
    Do you love me, do you love me, not

    You were my partner in crime
    It was a welcome waste of time
    Eating cherries on the bridge, feet dangling
    Throwing the pits and stems into the racing current below
    I get vertigo looking down, and looking in

    Drop me off at the curb by my curfew
    Round the corner so nobody sees you
    You drop a hint that you got a girlfriend
    I try my best not to take it
    I wanna run my fingers through you
    You say nobody understands you like I do

    But do you love me, do you love me not?
    Do you love me, do you love me not?
    Do you love me, do you love me not?
    Do you love me, do you love me, not Writer/s: Lucy Dacus
