1. Love (Or Lack Thereof)

For once, I got me a catch
But there’s another I wish I could throw back
She’d never cut me the slack
This phantom limb is one I don’t want reattached

And she swears she’s not that kind
To waste her nights outside my window on the lawn
But she’s there ‘til dawn

Well is it love
Or lack thereof
That won’t let her yet
Hold her piece?
I’m her drug
And just because
She can’t forget the company I keep

She’s not the salt of the Earth
She peppers her sentences with four-letter words
She only wants to get hurt
And I still set off her spider sense for better or worse

But she swears she’s not that kind
To waste her nights outside my window on the lawn
But she can’t move on
Well tell me:

Is it love
Or lack thereof
That won’t let her yet
Hold her piece?
I’m her drug
And just because
She can’t forget the company I keep

She’s looking for signs of weakness
‘Cause she’s still an open sore
And leaving me kind of speechless
‘Cause she knows I’m spoken for
