about: I had the line about the wet cement for a couple of weeks and really wanted to do something with it. Luckily, this song started to flesh itself out and solidify. I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
lyrics: When you're not by my side
I tangle up my sheets,
trying to sculpt my comforter
into a mold of you that'll suit my needs.

And it may be soft just like your lovely skin,
but this cotton and polyester,
well, it just won't do in the end.

And this experience has taught me a lot about
what we're really made of,
and how we don't got it all figured out.
Like until I met you, I never knew
I'm made of mostly wet cement.
But when you ran your fingers up my naked back,
well those marks were permanent.

And I've kept them with me
this whole time.

But I don't treat 'em like scars,
no, more like cartography:
they map out something beautiful
that you have given me.

Because we've been lovelorn pirates,
searching for that "x,"
and there's a chance it's scratched right here
on our rib-cages.

So meet me as the light shines on my bed,
and put that metal detector
you call your hand on my chest.

And you don't need to tell me
if it starts ot beep,
'cause there's always enough treasure
just in finding you next to me
in the morning.

So baby please stay
until the morning.
Well baby don't, don't leave until
the morning.
