Lyrics from live performance
[Intro]
I can feel her heartache grounding into the floor
And I am no kinder for it, I am no kinder for it
[Verse 1]
You shouldn't ask for water in your dreams, no
You shouldn't have to ask for anything at all
You shouldn't ask for water
You shouldn't have to ask for water
[Verse 2]
You shouldn't really have to say anything to anyone
You shouldn't have to tape it up on a bedroom wall
You shouldn't ask for water
You shouldn't have to ask for water
[Pre-Chorus]
She's awake, I can hear her under the shower
And its been almost over an hour
And I cannot sleep
What should I say?
She's awake, I can hear the clink of the bracelets dropping on the floor
And I have never missed her more
What should I say?
[Chorus]
What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?
That's just one example
What should I say?
What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?
That's just one example
And I am no kinder, I am no kinder for it
[Verse 3]
I can hear the floorboards under her feet creaking
It sounds to me like a snake and a mouse are squeaking
I shouldn't ask for water, I shouldn't even have to ask for water
[Verse 4]
She never loses her temperature, and she never cries
But I can light a cigarette off her smile
She shouldn't ask for water, she shouldn't ever have to ask for water
[Pre-Chorus]
She's awake, I can hear her running a shower
And it’s been almost over an hour
And I cannot sleep
What should I say?
I can hear the sound of the bracelets clinking on the floor
I have never missed her more, what should I say?
[Chorus]
What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?
That's just one example
I am no kinder, I am no kinder for it
What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?
That's just one example
I am no kinder, I am no kinder for it
[Bridge]
I can feel her heartache grounding into the floor
I am no kinder for it
I am no kinder for it
I can feel her heartache grounding into the floor
I am no kinder for it
I am no kinder for it
[Chorus]
What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?
That's just one example
What should I say?
What should I say when she eats the stickers off the apple?
That's just one example
And I am no kinder, I am no kinder for it
