Lyrics
36 Degrees
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.
We were tight, but it falls apart as silver turns to blue
Waxing with a candlelight, and burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment, and stick it in a box
I've never been an extrovert, but I'm still breathing
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)
Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)
With hindsight, I was more than blind, lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold, and what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstances, lonely at the top
I've always been an introvert, happily bleeding
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)
Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)
4, 7, 2, 3, 9, 8, 5
I gotta breathe to stay alive
And 1, 4, 2, 9, 7, 8
Feels like I'm gonna suffocate
14, 16, 22
This skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders, toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders, toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders, toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders, toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
