don't take it as a compliment
that i'm going away the way you asked me to
cause the best reason, you are my favourite reason to stay
and i'm certain we're destined to be together
for the sake of witnessing each other going away
i rolled naked in tattoo scratchings
in the springtime our love hatching
you promise that's not what's happening
so roll naked in my beard trimmings
in the winter our love thinning
don't take it as a compliment sugar scientist
don't take it as a compliment that's not what it is
i was trying for indifferent
i was aiming for nonchalant but i missed
you promise that's not what's happening
