you snuck into my room

at, like, in the morning.

She was just dragging it behind her.

And I started getting paranoid
because that weed I loved

back then was some cheap-ass sh*t.

So I got to thinking
that maybe you had a body

in your duffel bag.

But then you went to the bathroom.

And I'm just sitting there
staring at your duffel bag

up if I'm with him.

obviously like hanging out

both wanna mess it up.
