Lyrics

Haywire

[Verse 1]

The moment's here

Hold it and we'll keep it clear

Just like a crush

I wonder when I feel your rush

Losing nothing but pride

I got game enough to go for a ride

And I'm riding like a buoy on a wave

Yes, I'm searching for the one on a wave

But I'm cold as I'm wet

'Cause I know it's no one I've ever met

So I'm leaving all my lessons today

Yes, I'm throwing all my lessons away

'Cause it's one half open

It's one half shut

Like a life, like a knife

But the world wouldn't cut

It's like one mouth open

One mouth shut

A kiss I could miss

Like a kick in the gut

[Chorus]

I just get haywire

Haywire

Haywire

Haywire

[Verse 2]

Par for the course

We've had it till I just got hoarse

From night down to day

It doesn't change with what I say

Ooh, confidence

Why did you desert me then?

When I could've kicked

I snuggled up to think again

But I'm still on the make

When you give I have to take, take, take

And I'm riding like a buoy on a wave

And I'm learning all my lessons today

Let that voice be untamed

Let it cry and let some names be named

We'll be wired with the force of a wave

We'll be leaving with the force of a wave

It's like, "Well, how can I help it, if they break then they break

When my hands are untied they're entitled to shake"

It's like, "I looked to Leicester's left-it-lad

The sickness was singing and the song it was sad"

[Chorus]

It should be haywire

Haywire
