I first left to a summer camp
Feel my skeleton
Can you make my brittle bones strong?

Remember when we talked so long?
Quiet behind bedroom walls
The light made your eyes so big

And I keep my doubts in the back of my mind
And I still love you in the meantime
Cut me slack while I figure it out
And I still love you in the meantime

In the meantime
Can I love you in the meantime?

Now I sleep talk at night again
It's unsettling
Lie still as I try to calm down

I know I've been acting strange
Lately I don't feel the same
But we said it'd be this hard

And I keep my doubts in the back of my mind
And I still love you in the meantime
Cut me slack while I figure it out
And I still love you in the meantime

In the meantime
Can I love you in the meantime?
In the meantime
Can I love you in the meantime?

Twist me, licorice
Speak with your fingertips
Tell me what you want me to do

Can you meet me by the swimming pool
After hours, when the air is cool?
I've got things I don't know how to say

Can I love you in the meantime?
Can I love you in the meantime?
