MakeDamnSure
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.
You've got this new head filled up with smoke
I got my veins all tangled close
To the jukebox bars you frequent
The safest place to hide
A long night spent with your most obvious weakness
You start shaking at the thought
You are everything I want
'Cause you are everything I'm not
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)
We lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
I just wanna break you down so badly
(Well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna break you down so badly
(In the worst way)
My inarticulate store bought hangover hobby kit
It talks, it says you, oh you are so cool
Scissor shaped across the bed,
You are red, violent red
You hollow out my hungry eyes
You hollow out my hungry eyes
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)
We lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
I just wanna break you down so badly
(Well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna break you down so badly
(In the worst way)
I just wanna break you down so badly
(Well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna break you down so badly
(In the worst way) Worst way!
I'm gonna make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No you won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
I'll make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No you won't ever get too far from me,
You won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me (never get too far)
You won't ever get too far
I just wanna break you down so badly
(Well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna break you down so badly
(In the worst way) Worst way
I'm gonna make damn sure (I just wanna bring you down so badly)
I just wanna break you down so badly (Damn sure)
(In the worst way) Worst way
