Lyrics
Humpty Dumpty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Verse 1:
Say you were split, you were split in fragments
And none of the pieces will talk to you
Wouldn't you want to be who had them
Well, maybe I want that too
Chorus:
So better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero
Verse 2:
Baby, you're great, you've been more than patient
saying it's not a catastrophe
but I'm not the girl you put your faith in
just someone who looks like me
Chorus:
So better take the keys and drive forever
staying won't put these futures back together
all the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero
Bridge:
So get out while you can
Get out while you can
Baby, I'm pouring quicksand
And sinking is all I had planned
So better just go
Chorus:
Oh better take the keys and drive forever
staying won't put these futures back together
all the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put baby together again
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put baby together again
