Play House

Oh September, what a fool I was to think we'd Change together with the autumn colors What a grave mistake to put my faith in promise What's potential if only one person wants it? I've been cursed with wholehearted devotion Strong as an explosion, vaster than the ocean Baby, I can't be your friend, and try to water down the fire in my chest It's far too fresh for past tense And, love, I must be frank, it hurts that you don't crave My touch the same, like you once did in May That weekend at your place, just us two and Coltrane Barberry rice and cookies with dates Baby, I would rather play house together Than be a stranger, Hardly remembered 'Cause I just can't bear to see you, and have to treat you Like I don't know your weak spots I would rather play house I'd rather play house I'd rather play house together I don't have the heart to wave hello Exchange small niceties, ignore the history You said you couldn't see your life without me Please spare me the flattery, you're riddled with relief Still, I must be frank, it hurts that you don't crave My touch the same, like you once did in May That weekend at your place, just us two and Coltrane Barberry rice and cookies with dates Baby, I would rather play house together Than be a stranger, Hardly remembered 'Cause I just can't bear to see you, and have to treat you Like I don't know your weak spots I would rather play house together Than be a stranger, Hardly remembered 'Cause I just can't bear to see you, and have to treat you Like I don't know your weak spots I would rather play house I'd rather play house I'd rather play house together Baby, let's just play house together Don't be a stranger Say you'll remember
