Love You So Bad

by Ezra Furman

on Transangelic Exodus (2018)

You know I love you so bad
I don't believe in love
You know I love you so bad
So bad

You know I love you so bad
Like the kid in the back of the classroom
Who can't do the math
'Cause he can't see the blackboard, so bad

You know I love you so bad
Like the kids skipping class in the bathrooms
Sneaking cigarettes underneath the football bleachers, baby
So bad

You know I love you so bad
Like the kids growing up to be criminals
Tearing pages out the back of the hymnals
For love notes baby, so bad

Still remember so bad
The nights mom got drunker than dad did
She told me, "Never hang out with the bad kids."
Well, what can you say to that?

I always knew I was bad
Always dreaming so they called me the Spaceman
You first kissed me in your parent's blue basement
Wanted you baby, so bad

Sometimes we got out of hand
We bought drugs from a parking attendant
But sober nights in your car were transcendent
Loved you baby so bad

You know I loved you so bad
Somehow you got yourself accepted to college
You said there had to be a way out of all this
Garbage small town rat trap

You moved away, that was that
You still send me the occasional email
I got a dumb job working in retail
I miss you baby so bad, so bad

I drew your name in the sand
Came to the beach 'cause we used to go here
I watched the blue wave cover it over
Do what the ocean does best

I know the past is the past
But then again, the present's nothing without it
I feel fine, don't even feel sad about it
I just love you baby so, so bad

So bad, so bad
