i wanna tie you to a bed draped in white sheets
i've given up but i still wanna hold you and comfort you
i've given up in the fact that i can hold you but i can't hold you down

i'll tie you up in the most complicated knots making your wrists itch and your palms sweat but at the end of the day you still have your legs
my heartbeat vibrates your gentle spine and the amplitude pumps out the steady waves of anxiety hoping it's all in my head like i know it is
but you swing your legs and remove yourself from my situation
i'm sorry i come to you with all these panics and fears
and all you said is that you're here to help
well thanks for helping me get over my biggest fear by causing it
i lost you

so you walk out the door one night with your head held high thinking that you just got ****** when all you really did was **** me over
is it my fault i couldn't hold you down
or were you floating, no strings attached
