Exitin' the shower

I forgot to wash my heart

Now the dust has turned to mud

Since we've been apart

This angel whispered in my ear

As I brushed my teeth

She said "Muddy hearts work twice as hard

And still can barely beat"

I know it's true

I exit through you

You always did understand

That time ticks away

Everything you ever give

To cure you of delay

We've both been here so very long

Now we just pretend

To be head over heels in love

Like we've been saved again

It's true

I exit through you

Exit through you

What use is it to wash that stuff away?

In every place that we have run to

All that we've begun with was here to stay

(Exitin' the shower

I forgot to wash my heart

Now the dust has turned to mud

Since we've been apart

This angel whispered in my ear

As I brushed my teeth

She said "Muddy hearts work twice as hard)

And still can barely beat"

Your eyes like brandin' irons

Make impressions on my skin

I burn so very easy

When I'm proud of who I am

It feels like rigor mortis

But it tastes like bubblegum

All these words you need to say

They're on the tip of your tongue

It's true

I exit through you

Exit through you

What use is it to wash that stuff away?

In every place that we have run to

All that we've begun with was (t)here to stay

When my days have been clocked

And all the gates have been locked

When the way is all blocked

I exit through you

There's only one way out

(Exitin' the shower

I forgot to wash my heart

Now the dust has turned to mud

Since we've been apart

This angel whispered in my ear

As I brushed my teeth

She said "Muddy hearts work twice as hard)

And still can barely beat"

There's only one way out

Only one way out

(Exitin' the shower

I forgot to wash my heart

Now the dust is turned to mud

Since we've been apart

This angel whispered in my ear

As I brushed my teeth

She said "Muddy hearts work twice as hard)

And still can barely beat"

Only one way

I exit through you

(Exit through you)

One way out
