neon from false spring by Jai Mohan

are you gonna want me in the next life?
if you're the little spoon, could i be the knife?
maybe you'd want me like neon wants night
if i told you so?

are you gonna want me in the winter?
does it matter to you that i'm not thinner?
does it matter to you i'm no beginner
at getting people alone?

because i want you the way
that sunshine wants the street
and i desire you the way
i want to desire everyone that i meet
and i miss you the way
that light pollution misses the stars
would you want me even if
i'm terrified of being in cars?

would you want to see me with the lights out?
i hate my looks more than i hate my sounds
and i would want you when there's no one around
i'd take you home

because i want you the way
that sunshine wants the street
and i desire you the way
i want to desire everyone that i meet
and i miss you the way
that light pollution misses the stars
would you want me even if
i'm terrified of being in cars?
