yeah, but?

you did all the right things at first
lobster dinners croissant breakfasts
hike by the lake followed by sex in the lake lunches
so it was Red Lobster
so it was Burger King
so the lake sex was cold and mediocre
it was the thought that counted
but then you disappointed me
you stopped throwing pebbles at my window
no more midnight sneaking out spontaneity
roller coaster cotton candy kissing dizzy
on the carousel delirium
the burps began
the burps and the farts
and the broken candy hearts trail down into the hell
of so this is what it's like to be settled
yeah but I won't settle
can't settle
it isn't in my dna
my dreams are bigger than this
bliss is not a dog-eared postcard with smeared
red ink
I think love is a bit bolder
and sloppier
and prettier
than that
