You can twist me in your hand
Or close me up like a pocket knife
I know i've been holding back
But i was swallowed in your lack of light
Now i've said i would
I've said i would i've said i would
How come your letter reads misunderstood
When i said i would
Said i would said i would
But it's the weirdest sensation
You can take me for what it's worth
Believe it will be enough
It will be enough
Till my values all dried up
Now i've said i would
I've said i would i've said i would
How come your letter reads misunderstood
When i said i would
Said i would said i would
But it's the weirdest sensation
Sensation
You can twist me in your hand
Or close me up like a pocket knife
I know i've been holding back
But i was swallowed in your lack of light
Now i've said i would
I've said i would i've said i would
How come your letter reads misunderstood
When i said i would
Said i would said i would
How come your letter reads misunderstood
When i said i would said i would
Said i would but it's the weirdest sensation
Sensation
