New Jersey/Careful Chaos

The winter burned a map On your face that night We played tick tack toe Through the gaps in your fishnet tights Walked the two mile Stretch to home from Allston We left every party Feeling haunted Matthew, you ran right into the river Cut your feet cuz you'd thrown off your shoes Standing in the bath, we washed like sinners And onyx blood ran over your tattoo I'm writing from New Jersey It's not as bad as everybody says I whispered, but you heard me Careful chaos, I will love you till I'm dead Call me on the phone when you get lonely You know I miss the humming of your voice Give me one good reason and I'm coming Tell me more about your family in Detroit I've never been one for veneration But standing on the street with you I might Say a couple prayers to something sacred Cuz I can't look at you for fear of going blind I'm writing from New Jersey It's not as bad as everybody says I whispered, but you heard me Careful chaos, I will love you till I'm dead I'm writing from New Jersey All the summers I spent locked inside my room And I whispered but you heard me Careful chaos, ain't a thing I wouldn't do
