Page 36 of Live for Me

Have I ever made you feel like you aren’t in control?

Memphis

I can’t even control my lungs when you’re around.

Me

Would you feel better if I were around less?

Memphis

No.

Apparently, I don’t even like you not being here now.

Me

Even though you can’t breathe when I’m there.

Memphis

It’s complicated.

Me

You are complicating it. By itself, this is not complicated.

Memphis

Agree to disagree?

Me

No.

Memphis

What? You can’t just say no to that. I’m pretty sure that’s like the internationally accepted signal for “let’s just move on.”

Me

I tend to do what I want, angel.

Tell me what you want to do next on that list of yours.

Memphis

I wasn’t giving you a list of tasks when we talked about that, Utah.

Me

Tell me anyway. Name it. Anything you want.

Memphis

Anything? If I sit here and tell you to pick me up for a date with a boombox held over your head, you’re going to do it?

Cheesy old movies.
