It's Not Like
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.
Take both my feet
Tie them
Throw me over
Will I still float?
Will my heart sink?
Why have I held on so long?
I still don't know
And it's not like I have anyone to show
Or, do I want to?
These arms, this heart, these eyes
Have seen almost everything
But not you, but not you
But I want to
Take both my hands
Tie them behind my back
To keep me from holding, from holding, from holding
But that's so unlike myself
And it's not like I have anyone to hold
Or, do I want to?
These eyes, this heart, these arms
Have held almost anything
But not you, but not you
But I want to
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Why do I need to love someone?
It's like I was born not out of legs
But I was born of arms
And it's not like I have anyone to love
Do I want to?
These eyes, these arms, this heart
Has loved almost everything
But not you, but not you
But I want to
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
