Embrace me by Ashton Freeman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It’s 2am and I’m walking down Clinton street
Hiding my cigarette in shame from the shadows I see
A goth girl told me it was cool I think we were 13
A year goes by and she fucked me with a guy she met online
We bought cocaine in his brownstone and watched Ace Ventura
I stared blankly as he thrusted and she did a line
Off my stomach but I was far from coming I was
In a Brooklyn basement thinking I was gonna die
[Chorus 1]
And people wonder why I talk the way I do
And I wonder why I got older when I didn’t want to
[Verse 2]
She took me to an older woman’s house deep in south slope
I think she cut the drugs with sugar cause she tasted so sweet
And when I came to I was etched out in the sidewalk chalk
Blood draining from my wrists and my throat burned to a crisp
I made it to a farm and watched every last sunset
Dipping my toes in the Wayward Tides
But my heart still lingers in those humid nights running
Through Central Park naked thinking I was half alive
[Chorus 2]
And people wonder why I talk the way I do
And I wonder why I got older when I didn’t want to
[Verse 3]
I can embrace you and I can embrace myself too
I’ve lived much longer than I should
And I have so much to say it bursts at the seams
But I’ll love you like only I could
We can tangle up our thoughts or we can stay right here
I’ve lived much longer than I should
But bad beginnings only lead to good endings
And I’ll love you like only I could
Yes I’ll love you like only I could
It’s 2am and I’m walking down Clinton street
Hiding my cigarette in shame from the shadows I see
A goth girl told me it was cool I think we were 13
A year goes by and she fucked me with a guy she met online
We bought cocaine in his brownstone and watched Ace Ventura
I stared blankly as he thrusted and she did a line
Off my stomach but I was far from coming I was
In a Brooklyn basement thinking I was gonna die
[Chorus 1]
And people wonder why I talk the way I do
And I wonder why I got older when I didn’t want to
[Verse 2]
She took me to an older woman’s house deep in south slope
I think she cut the drugs with sugar cause she tasted so sweet
And when I came to I was etched out in the sidewalk chalk
Blood draining from my wrists and my throat burned to a crisp
I made it to a farm and watched every last sunset
Dipping my toes in the Wayward Tides
But my heart still lingers in those humid nights running
Through Central Park naked thinking I was half alive
[Chorus 2]
And people wonder why I talk the way I do
And I wonder why I got older when I didn’t want to
[Verse 3]
I can embrace you and I can embrace myself too
I’ve lived much longer than I should
And I have so much to say it bursts at the seams
But I’ll love you like only I could
We can tangle up our thoughts or we can stay right here
I’ve lived much longer than I should
But bad beginnings only lead to good endings
And I’ll love you like only I could
Yes I’ll love you like only I could
