When are you going to tire of chasing me? Making me look into open space sometimes so vacantly I go and write songs about it, I do Lose my head trying to find you. Feels like I'm always so close to the fire Becoming a danger to myself, I feel like a liar I remember thinking you could be so cheesy, it was easy And I’m an open book, everyone can read me. Is this something you want? Out the door before my jackets on And carry on Where's the magic gone? You used to turn me on So you want me to be more apathetic? But still call me pathetic? If I'm honest you don’t take me there no more So why you on my lips for? Bringing me up just to drag me down Leaving me here in this crumbling town You’re the reason I can’t sleep. Punching your holes in too many of my memories Making me freeze with your ease Manipulating my energies Is this something you want? Another hit and miss before it’s gone Is this what I'm living on? I’m always pouring over messages Becoming someone else, it's all relative And I’m so negative I wanna get high on your sedative Bringing me back down to earth Making my feet hurt, their caked in dirt But I don’t mistake what this is, you’re just a flirt Where's the magic gone? It's been too long And you don’t know how to turn me on Not anymore.

Turn Me On
When are you going to tire of chasing me? Making me look into open space sometimes so vacantly I go and write songs about it, I do Lose my head trying to find you. Feels like I'm always so close to the fire Becoming a danger to myself, I feel like a liar I remember thinking you could be so cheesy, it was easy And I’m an open book, everyone can read me. Is this something you want? Out the door before my jackets on And carry on Where's the magic gone? You used to turn me on So you want me to be more apathetic? But still call me pathetic? If I'm honest you don’t take me there no more So why you on my lips for? Bringing me up just to drag me down Leaving me here in this crumbling town You’re the reason I can’t sleep. Punching your holes in too many of my memories Making me freeze with your ease Manipulating my energies Is this something you want? Another hit and miss before it’s gone Is this what I'm living on? I’m always pouring over messages Becoming someone else, it's all relative And I’m so negative I wanna get high on your sedative Bringing me back down to earth Making my feet hurt, their caked in dirt But I don’t mistake what this is, you’re just a flirt Where's the magic gone?
