My Guitar the Lover

Lyrics by Olivia DB

(verse)

Middle of the night, just me and you

Baby, you’re better than my friends at school

Always in my arms, it’s cold but what’s the harm?

What else can I do?

Had a hard day, and I’m rambling on

But you don’t mind, you’d wait an eon

Sitting in my lap, acoustic hourglass, I say

“Lemme play you a song”

(chorus)

My guitar’s my lover

I’m kissing its strings

In the AC in the summer

I tell it fuckin’ everything

But the wood in its frame can’t hold me together

The lyrics in my head don’t make me feel better

Under the covers

I’m missing her laugh

My guitar’s my lover

‘Cause I’ll never get her baaaaaack

Ooh, oo-oo-ooh

Ooh, oo-ooh

(verse)

She’s stuck in my head, I can’t get her out

‘Cause while she moved on, I wrote her down

Immortalized in art, I’m alone but what’s the harm?

I like havin’ her around

(chorus)

My guitar’s my lover

I’m kissing its strings

The pick goes pitter-patter

I tell it nearly everything

But the wood in its frame can’t hold me together

The lyrics in my head don’t make me feel better

Aah, aah

Can you hear me now?

(bridge)

God, give me someone I can confide in

Not watching, waiting, all one-sided

Echoes down the cul-de-sac

Give me someone who loves me back

(chorus)

My guitar’s my lover

Tethered to its strings

Lucky little lover

I tell it nearly everything

‘Cause the wood in its frame can’t hold me together

The lyrics in my head don’t make me feel better

Under the covers

There’s nobody there

My guitar’s my lover

My guitar doesn’t caaaaaaaaare

Ooh, oo-oo-ooh

Ooh, oo-ooh
