I WANT YOU TO KNOW ME / i want you to know / my favorite novel i want you to know / why my eyes light up when i look at the ocean i want you to know / that when i wrap my hands around your neck it means i want your lips on mine
I DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ME / to remain liked i must be unknowable / to keep you next to me i need to hide
I DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW / about the way that i shut down; i break / i shatter / the breeze blows by / and i put myself together again / whiplash
I DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW / that my feelings hit like a hurricane / and last half as long / i drop, drop, drop / through the floor / through the ceiling / where is my head?
I WANT YOU TO KNOW ME / i want you to know that i believe you hung the stars
I DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ME / i don't want you to know that when i'm feeling that i don't fit / i steal those stars / and swallow them
