Lyrics

Foundation

There's a scratch on your shoulder
Crushes me like
Crushes me like lead
And I wanna get older
All the things I want, I really shouldn't get
If I triumph, are you watching?
Can you separate everything for me?
You used to work me out, but you never worked it out for me

There's a scratch on your shoulder
Crushes me like
Crushes me like lead
And I wanna get older
All the things I want, I really shouldn't get
If I triumph, are you watching?
Can you separate everything for me?
You used to work me out, but you never worked it out for me

And your head looks good
I wanna love it so much
I wanna be the one
I wanna do what you love
And I was lying
I don't really wanna be fine
It's all over

And there's a scratch on your shoulder
Crushes me like
Crushes me like lead
And I wanna get older
And all the things I want, I really shouldn't get.
