Scary and fast like an accident
Pulling your soul through your mouth
I start to forget
I start to forget all kinds of things
I forget to protect myself
and love you like you won't leave
and sometimes the only thing in my life that matters is making you come
It's like the safety of a gun
So, so jonesing for you
Gimme bump, gimme some
at first it was a little bit
but now it takes a little more
pulling your soul through your mouth
I start to forget…
I'd love to keep you under lock and key
silk sheets, short leash
but you were always over me
sometimes the only thing in my life that matters is making you come
it's like the safety of a gun
and the years and the years and the years
I get so brave
right before I become so afraid
and you pull my soul into your mouth
and I'm looking up at you
sometimes the only thing in my life that matters is making you come
it's like the safety of a gun

hey, what you in it for, baby, you tell me is it money and fame
or is it glamor and game?
you know I woke up in the back seat of a dj's car
in the corner slot truck stop parking lot
all the times I was losing my mind, the music saved my life
I'm here to do the same for you
this is how my heart beats- do you trust me, baby?
all you wanderers all you bright eyed kids
and strangers in strange lands
god knows sometimes I'm one of them
one, two, soundcheck, makeup, do a shot
then I call you from the bathroom before I go out
I'm tired and down, I'm so dirty right now-
but can you turn them on tonight?
this is how my heart beats, do you trust me, baby?
it's ten o clock, it's another small town Friday night
I'm dirty and down, I'm tired and it's time to pull this all together
can you turn them on, can you turn them on tonight?
all you wanderers all you bright eyed kids
strangers in strange beds, god knows sometimes i'm of them
this is is how my heart beats, do you trust me baby?
I will wait for you I will wait for you
but it's time to face the crowd
can you turn them on, can you turn them on tonight?

Are you awake? It's too hot to sleep, confessions of you on my mind.
Doesn't it get hard, oh, you on your own…
If I had you here with me, you know I'd-
I am up late here, waiting for you.
I can never go to sleep without you...
Oh, my darling, if you were here, oh, my darling, if you were here I'd-
Why so tragic, magic eyes?
I will take you downstairs, don't you cry
I will take you upstairs, reasons why
oh, baby, baby, you got magic eyes
Days are lonely, here without you
Moonscape stations and hours alone
All these bodies here are strangers to me
And your voice on the phone is the only piece of home with me
You know, you know, you got magic eyes

The taste of blood and
the smell of burning cotton
it was way too dark
it was way too fast
and I looked up from the base from the stairs
and you said, you make me so mad
this is not my safe word
this is not my safe place
and I don't love you anymore
here is a sickness
here is a sadness
oh, baby, it's time to go
this is a sickness
this is a sadness
oh, baby, it's time to go
and all of the times
all of the times
it was you and me against the world
we shut ourselves out
and we put ourselves down
when we could have raised an army
we could have been king and queen of the world
but these are bruised palms
and this is the taste of blood in the mouth
this is not my safe word
this is not my safe place
and I don't love you anymore
this is a sickness
this is a sadness
oh, baby, it's time to go
here is a sickness
here is a sadness
oh, baby, it's time to go
oh oh baby, it's time to go
knocked teeth and broken glasses
voices overheard on the other side of the door
This is not my safe word
this is not my safe place
and I don't love you anymore
this is a sickness
this is a sadness
oh, baby, it's time to go
oh oh oh oh baby, it's time to go
oh oh oh oh oh oh baby, it's time to go
I'm not saying it was all your fault
I saw myself there with you
fighting like animals in a cage
eating one other
or twins with a language no one else speaks
infinite hunger and infinite rage
but I remember love between us-
infinite love
This is not my safe word
this is not my safe place
and I don't love you anymore
this is a sickness
this is a sadness
oh, baby, it's time to go

baby, you could try a little harder, oh
you could try a little harder to show me that you want it too
Accidents or coincidence or kismet
I don't know what it was but I decided to do this
I'll be the boy for you
love you up and take you down
Flowers and mixtapes, too
But you already know I'm gone for you
oh-oh, but you already know I'm so gone for you
Sometimes I wanna be the girl
If you wanna be the boss, take me out and show me off
Keep you waiting downstairs while I put my makeup on
But I'm too scared to wait
for you to call
I'll be the boy for you
love you up and take you down
Flowers and mixtures, too
I'd do almost anything to have you think I'm cool
oh, but then again, why bother?
'Cause you already know I'm gone for you
oh-oh, 'cause you already know I'm so gone for you
Baby, you shouldn't keep your lover waiting
armed and finger on the trigger, tiptoed, held breath and ready to deliver
my heart on a tray
I'll be the boy for you
Love you up and take you down
Flowers and mixtapes too
You know how I call you, I want that, too
And all those love songs, yeah, I want some, too
But you already know I'm gone for you
But you already know I'm gone for you
Baby, don't keep your lover waiting
don't keep your lover waiting
I'm always waiting for you

Last night in the emergency room,
they said it wouldn't be soon
would I sign? was I prepared to spend the night?
And I didn't even know your real name
but I stayed there just the same
good God, it seemed the decent thing to do
oh god, it hurts, oh- is it supposed to?
baby, you should have left when they told you to
and I watched him try even after his lips turned blue
This life will eat you alive
And all the things you said-
"I didn't know, I would've though…"
It's 2013 and I can't believe I still have friends doing needle drugs.
You see, when I was eighteen, I was more than green.
I knew absolutely nothing about anything
and I was backstage in this San Diego dive and I said,
"I get it, you can get up now."
Except she wasn't kidding and I couldn't wake her up.
I said, "Baby, you can get up now," but she didn't
I said, "Baby, you can get up now," but she didn't
Don't you think maybe it's time you stopped getting high
Maybe it's time you stopped getting high

How do you feel about trust
How do you feel about us
it's the little things
it's the little things
oh oh oh oh
try me, ask me anything you like
unless you really don't want to know
Secrets are like bitter things in the mouth
hard to swallow
Lust is like money it corrupts
and time is like trouble
it reminds me of us
beat down, junk sick
and baby more, baby more, give it please
baby, you know me, soft and lonely
and always wanting
oh give it please, give it please
oh
give it, baby, give it, baby, give it, baby, give it please

When my sweetheart finds we are two of a mind
Time and time I find myself
Entwined
Entanglements I'd left behind
I was sure I knew you
but I guess I didn't know me
You get a taste you want some more
You get a taste you want some more
But my baby's so good to me
But my baby's so good to me
But those shadows of the window blinds
and that certain slant of light
And I'm sleeping by myself again again
You get a taste you want some more
You get a taste you want some more
Oh, be good to me good to me
and I'll love you all day
But that look and that sigh, oh baby, what can I say?
Oh, that look and that sigh,
like you've never rolled friends and stayed friends to the end
vicious lies.
Your cutting words, your awful smile
heart's cry baby bye
You get a taste you want some more
You get a taste you want some more

mm mm mm meow
mm mm mm meow
I can see you wandering kinda pretending
that you're not watching me
Oh, I think you want it, too
but you gotta get closer if you want to be touched
oh, my sweet, my little one, my skittish one
oh, my sweet, my little one, my skittish one
mm mm mm meow
mm mm mm meow
you're so soft and you're so fine
oh, baby, baby, tiger mine
love can hurt but so can I
and you're getting braver all the time
oh, my sweet, my little one, my skittish one
oh, my sweet, my little one, my skittish one
mm mm mm meow
mm mm mm meow
I'll show you love, I'll show you love….
