lyrics

Young Adonis
With a buzzcut
Tastes just like sugar and bad blood

Young Adonis
Give me tough love
I get high every time you rough me up

Soft kiss
My tongue slips
In the ridge from the scar on your lip

You got a tight grip
And it's bliss
God, don't treat me like some means to an end

Cause this feels like
The first drag on your smoke break
Coming up for air when your lungs ache
Baby, we could put the poets to shame
I want everything
And you could be that for me
In a fur coat, kissing in the alleyway
Something like a bad habit I don't wanna break
Baby, we could put the poets to shame
I want everything
And you could be that for me

Young Adonis
With a buzzcut
Say the word
We can double this down
And see how far we can push our luck

With some tattoos
And Absolut
Trading in misdemeanors for a favor or two

I spark
And burn blue
I'm too hot to touch
But you don't notice cause you still do

The first drag of your smoke break
Coming up for air when your lungs ache
Baby, we could put the poets to shame
I want everything
And you could be that for me
In a fur coat, kissing in the alleyway
Something like a bad habit I don't wanna break
Baby, we could put the poets to shame
I want everything
And you could be that for me

Everybody told me
I can be a little too much
So tell me why you hold me
And say that you can't ever get enough?

Whatever you say, love
Whatever you say, I believe you
The truth is, I used to dream about boys like you

The first drag of your smoke break
Coming up for air when your lungs ache
Baby, we could put the poets to shame
I want everything
And you could be that for me
In a fur coat, kissing in the alleyway
Something like a bad habit I don't wanna break
Baby, we could put the poets to shame
I want everything
And you could be that for me
