Shape Today

Drugs keep us up tonight
Barely noticed the fade to daylight
And though a night of you and pills is my favorite, I'm not alright

The truth crawls through your lips
It peers out timidly but then slips
It's no confession, you've done nothing wrong, it's just hard to grip

But the cheapest nights we speak of
Won't make today a tainted love
When I feel your body from above
It's love

​I tell you how I did the same
Acted out "lovers" with another, I feel ashamed
The look across your face is identical to mine, it's pain

And I bet we've both said it before
Into the ears of those we used to adore
But I hope we are forever and I've never meant it more

The cheapest nights we speak of
Won't make today a tainted love
When I feel your body from above
​It's love
It's love
It's love

My partner and I had that awkward conversation couples sometimes have, sharing tales of past lovers, only this experience was especially jealousy-invoking because the stories took place in the middle of our relationship. We had split up for a short while when she moved back across the country. We dated other people only to each realize we wanted to be back together despite the distance. "Shape Today" means to live for the present, to shed the past, and to love now.
