I Want To Guard You From Boredom

[Verse 1] Puberty came late to me but so did everything else Drifting between underdog and also-ran But as for you, you came to me in a crescendo of silence On a filthy strip of sidewalk where day settled like a scab [Bridge] You ordered extra avocado Of course I wanna know your shadow I slid the blade across the table You be Cain and I'll be Abel [Chorus] I want to guard you from boredom [Verse 2] On Venice we pass thin old men in leather playing chess I'm addicted to epiphany you wearily confess When you leave me you'll be sensible as matching kitchenware I suppose this song is writing me but it's taking fucking years [Bridge] You taught yourself to play piano Of course I wanna know your shadow I slid the blade across the table You be Cain and I'll be Abel [Chorus] [Chorus]
