don't take it as a compliment   that i'm going away the way you asked me to   cause the best reason, you are my favourite reason to stay   and i'm certain we're destined to be together   for the sake of witnessing each other going away      i rolled naked in tattoo scratchings   in the springtime our love hatching      you promise that's not what's happening      so roll naked in my beard trimmings   in the winter our love thinning      don't take it as a compliment sugar scientist   don't take it as a compliment that's not what it is   i was trying for indifferent   i was aiming for nonchalant but i missed      you promise that's not what's happening
