If I was a dog, I'd bite
And you may be one now,
But at least you're right
And if I was a cat, I'd scratch
Pouncing on air,
Just missing your lap
Babe if I was a bird, I'd sing
I'd be the kind of canary
You'd be too afraid
To send into a mine,
That's what you are at all times
Even when I seem unsure
I'm a maybe at best,
For sure

I don't have time like a clock does
I'll tick you around till your heart stops
He said put down the scissors,
All I said was I miss her,
Oh, you better not
And you better stop
I needed to chill,
And I've done a good job
I'm so ******* sweet
And you're stupid, it seems
Like with me, you dream
You wake up and push your luck

The sweetest music, making me weep
Wanting to scream but unable to speak
I'm tired but oh so rushed
Shaking hands, too late is enough
And I'm scared and aware,
And I know what's up
But I'd rather it now than before
Now he's calling my name,
Kicking in the door
Can't get into a room without one,
So what are they trying for?
I care, I care
I say it at least
An exhaustion immune to a good nights sleep

And he said to me,
Punch first and punch hard
In your evening eyes I see winter stars
Cover mine, I'd still know where we are
Pull me in and shock me with your pounding heart
Yes I guess,
Yes it's best,
When moments come in flashes
May your wanting ache,
Your crossed fingers happen
Lover you'll see, I flirt with madness
But I'll never stray,
You've got it all
You're the missed step and the plunging fall

Oh aren't you everything I asked for
And like a hot, late dream,
Just like THAT girl in movies,
I'm tossing around with nothing on
Just so good feeling like lilies in your arms
It hasn't captured me,
This perfect buzz,
Yeah it's just enough
And if it comes crashing,
I hope you've had practice,
'Cause I'll be so comfortably numb

Trying to love and feel again,
Like lighting a match in the wind
I could blame the stars,
Or the people they are
I could blame myself
And the installed iron bars
Baby I could blame you
Yeah that's probably best
Id probably get the car,
And the money with that guess
Yeah, it's all on you
The boy in blue
But who really knows in the end

You don't want this,
And I'm telling you
Just like it is
An unsteady tower when the wind comes in,
That's what I am
Made of marble and glass and covered in sun
I'm at my best when the nights are long
But by the sea,
Temperamental place to be
I fear overcasts just teasing me
Yes it's the best,
I will admit
Just listen sailor, please
A beach house is perfectly
Troubled as can be
