Lyrics
Asleep In The Back
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.
Were you crushed
Did I rush you
All my time is yours
My twisted heart is yours
The faithless shit is yours
The shameless fits of love that only smother you for moments
Until I fold them up and leave
All yours
(chorus)
Oh you had to ask didn't you (x2)
Oh you had to know
Show your scars
Not to rush you
The hieroglyphic hints in all the toilet scrawl
Guilty little pins
And all the things I never talk about
Are spilling with the gin
Test how tough you are
All yours
(chorus)
Not to rush you
