Vampire Weeknight from Night Shift by Jenny Owen Youngs

VAMPIRE WEEKNIGHT

I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do I do I do
pour another finger out or maybe two
cause I don’t wanna drink without you but I do, I do

all night I’m suspended animation
watch the palm trees out the window all turn black
sleeplessly I’m paralyzed and waiting
will you come back

I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do I do I do
pour another finger out or maybe two
cause I don’t wanna drink without you but I do, I do

pacing like a bobcat in the kitchen
or up the stairs just solitaire-ing in my room
preacher’s on the late-night television
saying “...soon.”

I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do I do I do
pour another finger out or maybe two
cause I don’t wanna drink without you but I do, I do

asking every empty room what you’d say
bloodless in the bathroom mirror, oh my god
just tryna make it through another tuesday
or maybe not

so I spend every evening alone
just a ghost by the light of my phone
with your name in my throat I swallow
I swallow

I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do I do I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do
I don’t wanna think about you but I do, I do
