I had read the books about it
thought that I could live without it
you put me to the wall and now I know I want it all
you started talkin sweet
I was coughin in my tea
I'm melody and you're the beat
I've been tossin in my sleep
I want a love so big that I'm not sure I can have it
been taking pieces where I can
shoop shoop shoop
I was goin home with you
you were brave enough to say it
I was brave enough to take it from you
oh oh didn't wanna be alone
now I'm tired to the bone
you're not what I bargained for
see the duckie silhouette and the seagulls overhead
such a quiet little lake
is there a body in that bed?
by this lake you never know
don't believe what we were shown
such a quiet afternoon, no I don't wanna be alone
at home in my castle
the echoes on the walls are sayin ah ah ah ah
outside my window I hear another yell and a shot
shoop shoop shoop
I was goin home with you
you were brave enough to say it
I was brave enough to take it from you
oh oh didn't wanna be alone
now I'm tired to the bone
you're not what I bargained for
shoop shoop shoop
I was goin home with you
you were brave enough to say it
I was brave enough to take it from you
oh oh didn't wanna be alone
now I'm tired to the bone
maybe I can learn to go slow, to go slow, to go slow
I carry a love that's bigger than the sun, bigger than the sun, bigger than the sun, oh it's bigger
you left my heart as heavy as a gun, heavy as a gun, heavy as a gun and I'm so triggered
I carry a love that's bigger than the sun, bigger than the sun, bigger than the sun, oh it's bigger
you left my heart as heavy as a gun, heavy as a gun, heavy as a gun and I'm so triggered
if you change your mind, don't tell me, I don't need to know
if you change your mind, don't tell me, don't tell me
if you change your mind, don't tell me, I don't need to know
if you change your mind, don't tell me
