MERCURY

​

My Mercury's in retrograde...

 

This is not the time

The time to start a new love

This is not the time

The time to sign a lease

Try not to worry about what's forgotten

Try not to worry about what's been missed

 

Scars on shins

And scars on my knuckles

Today I woke up in a basketball court

Jonjo’s in Sydney and he ain't returning

I'm sitting in Soho trying to stay drunk

 

In any bar in the world

From Silverlake to Williamsburg

You could pick another stranger

And fall in love

 

Mercury’s in retrograde...

 

This is not the time

The time to start a new love

This is not the time

The time to sign a lease

Try not to worry about what's forgotten

Try not to worry about what's been missed

 

Bleeding gums and blue veins protruding

I'm starting to hate all of your clothes

Neumayr's in LA and she ain't returning

I’m sleeping with people I don't even like

 

In any bar in the world

From Silverlake to Williamsburg

You could pick another stranger

And fall in love

 

Mercury's in retrograde...

 

When I say you last night

I wanted to say:

"Run away with me away from the cynics"

That this could be the start of

Something truly real

But all that I could say was "hey"

Was "hey"

Was "hey"

Was "hey"

 

My Mercury's in retrograde…
