[Verse 1]
I want your fingers on my ribs and your thumbs on my back
And push and snap me open 'til you hear my bones crack
And it's awful how this universe has worked it out so that
I ended up just looking, but it's not that bad
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wish you'd take a little time to take me over for a while
And touch my soul with your smile, and yeah
Make your body snake, and wind yourself up
I curl myself in knots and I want to grow up
[Chorus]
But the half heart sees what the other heart's got
Sometimes I feel like I'd rather just rot
And I know that there are better people, I know that they smell nice
I know that I am taken but I'd rather take advice
From the other girl who looks better with her cheap tights on—
What's she gonna look like when her love has gone?
Oh, I've got too much space around me
Oh, I've got too many people around me
[Verse 2]
And I like your shadow 'cause it's big and covers me up
And your music that inspires me to wake myself up
And I'm worried that I never really tried and I pretend
To make myself a person you'll respect and defend
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wish you'd take a little time to take me over for a while
And touch my soul with your smile, and yeah
Make your body snake and wind yourself up
I curl myself in knots and I want to grow up
[Chorus]
But the half heart sees what the other heart's got
Sometimes I feel like I'd rather just rot
And I know that there are better people, I know that they smell nice
I know that I am taken but I'd rather take advice
From the other girl who looks better with her cheap tights on
What's she gonna look like when her love has gone?
Oh, I've got too much space around me
Oh, I've got too many people around me
[Refrain]
And the hold looks broken, nothing can stop me
I feel nothing can stop me, I feel energy pulsating
I hate this joy, I know it will break in me
Suck out my energy, everything breaks in me
And the hold looks broken, nothing can stop me
I feel nothing can stop me, I feel energy pulsating
I hate this joy and I know it will break in me
Suck out my energy, everything breaks in me
[Verse 3]
I keep myself to myself, if that's okay
Oh how I tried to share my life today
I can't hold back till it's too late
And it's why I need him, though it aches
[Refrain]
And the hold looks broken, nothing can stop me
I feel nothing can stop me, I feel energy pulsating
I hate this joy and I know it will break in me
Suck out my energy, everything breaks in me
And the hold looks broken, nothing can stop me
I feel nothing can stop me, I feel energy pulsating
I hate this joy and I know it will break in me
Suck out my energy, everything breaks in me
And the hold looks broken, nothing can stop me
I feel nothing can stop me, I feel energy pulsating
I hate this joy and I know it will break in me
Suck out my energy, everything breaks in me
