Boyfriend Lyrics by Wet Mut

Nightlight

2017

[Verse 1:]
Words called out of a car
Hold a sticky weight
That clings to your shoulders and your mind
The car could crush you
Or follow you home
But it still words
Its will words that somehow manage to do both

{Chorus 1:]
You walk ahead despite his 'compliments'
He defensively calls them
So you may live
So may live safe interrupted
So you may live
So you may live without concern for your body
They won't give you that
Won't give you that living license

[Verse 2:]
I've called words that way
More than what they're worth
And I've called them a lot closer to your ear
You can't blow me off
When I'm lying in your bed
You know its hard not to believe your own boyfriend

[Chorus 2:]
You move along make moves to live despite his unwanted advance
So you can be
So you can be in love and safe
So you may sleep
So you may sleep without aiding your patterns
It won't bring you that
Won't break that on your license

[Interlude:]
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo
Lo lo lo lo lo

[Bridge:]
Where do we bark our orders?
In our roads or in our sheets?
I've been louder in the latter
I've stayed quiet on the streets

[Outro:]
Quiet on the streets
Quiet on the streets
Quiet on the streets
Quiet on the streets
