lyrics
i’ll be your biggest fan
i will be your fool
i’ll be your exception
to whatever the rule
an i ain’t the type to bitch
i ain’t the type to cry
i’ll sit at your red light and wait
for your shit to go by
and this vague little smile
is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which
i will leave to your discretion
my distraction’s my defense
against a lack of inspiration
against a slow leak deflation
the further the horizon
the more it holds my gaze
and the foreground’s out of focus
but, you know, i kinda hope it’s just a phase
i’ve been through and through this
i know just how it goes
you’ll have no idea
you’ll have no need to know
cuz i will make your body
grow wings and take flight
i will erase sound
i will erase light
and this vague little smile
is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which
i’ll leave to your discretion
my distraction’s my defense
against a lack of inspiration
against a slow leak deflation
the further the horizon
the more it holds my gaze
and the foreground’s out of focus
but, you know, i kinda hope it’s just a phase
i will be your fool
i’ll be your exception
to whatever the rule
an i ain’t the type to bitch
i ain’t the type to cry
i’ll sit at your red light and wait
for your shit to go by
and this vague little smile
is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which
i will leave to your discretion
my distraction’s my defense
against a lack of inspiration
against a slow leak deflation
the further the horizon
the more it holds my gaze
and the foreground’s out of focus
but, you know, i kinda hope it’s just a phase
i’ve been through and through this
i know just how it goes
you’ll have no idea
you’ll have no need to know
cuz i will make your body
grow wings and take flight
i will erase sound
i will erase light
and this vague little smile
is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which
i’ll leave to your discretion
my distraction’s my defense
against a lack of inspiration
against a slow leak deflation
the further the horizon
the more it holds my gaze
and the foreground’s out of focus
but, you know, i kinda hope it’s just a phase
