And if my heart became a graveyard
Your ghost will be here someday
The years you will have wasted are caving you in
And I'm doing my best stuck in the middle
Nothing to do but wait for your walls to collapse
And I hope to be buried there
In the middle of your fall
Cursed to sit by the phone and wait for you to call

I want you to say it even if its a lie
I want you to say the words you don't really mean
Then I will dance on the grave of someone
Who used to be me

And if my heart is a sinking ship
Your body will go down with it
The years you felt it and you'll feel it now
And I'm doing my best not to drown
I can't afford to think about it anymore
And I hope to be baptized here
In the belly of a whale
And darling, we'll have such a great tale to tell

I want you to mean it more than anything
I want you to mean it more than anything
I want you to mean it more than anything
I want to dance with you until the sun doesn't rise
