Period Lyrics by Andy Alexandre Marcel

2016

She said she wants me to commit and see this through like a period.
But I want to be loose with it, which makes her question what we're doing
She wants me to commit and see this through like a period
But the idea of us being together frightens me
She said we'd be as loose as a thread
I said that's funny because I didn't know public opinion mattered. But I could see it did to her
I could tell her from her face, I read it
I want to see her for a period of time, but not until we're done there, period.
The only time I want to discuss a period is when I'm prevented from carrying on, and you know what I'm talking about so right there, period
She tells me she wants me to commit till the end, and settle the existential question of who we are
I split the bill, and raise some commas
To tell you the truth, in your life, I more or less saw myself as a comma
I want to be a pause you take before you make your next move into something, yeah, something more substantial. Cause I'm not that that substantial.
I could provide for you, I could mean money but I don't want to be a period.

Why do you want to put a question mark on us? On this union? she asks.
I think you're reaching like a stretch mark, I tell her.
Her mouth hangs agape, and she exclaims that we're tied together.
Like a hyphen, here we are
But I think a hyphen makes everything so serious.
She wants me to commit to the very end and have Us start with a big capital letter
I want to cop it all, but I don't want a capital
I want to cop every girl in the city, but I don't want a capital
I live right here in this city and I love it but I don't want no capital
If you want capital, I'll buy you things
I said, we're two subjects and here's our predicament.
We're running around in circles and our sentences have no beginning nor end.
Let's get out of here. I tell her we're in need of action so let's add verbs.
She laughs, she thinks i'm funny.
That's an adjective.
I tell her if we keep doing this, we'll be subject to more adjectives.
We'll be calling each other names and pronouns and I don't know.
"He" and "she" will be mentioned, and we'll talk about each other and to each other.

She said she wants me to commit and it frightens me to my very core.
She talks and all I can hear are syllables and vowels, and I think of wedding gowns and vows.
If you link us together like that and then there's no cat, that would be a catastrophe
Look, I want us to be something that wouldn't be definitive.
I want some wiggle room, some space, like He and she are...
In this vague opening into another world
It drives her crazy like those little dots because it brings uncertainty until there's something right after them.
Loading into an unknown world.
This is not you talking, it's your parents and sis
They want us to be committed, locked in a bubble
It's scary.

She's really young, she's under score.
She's gonna think I used her, I should probably make a dash for it.
If you see me calling, then that means I do want to link up.
But you'll be alright, you're young. I'm just not the period you expected. I can't wrap this up
