[Intro]
Long conversations
Idle chit chat
Maybe dive in
Maybe hang back
[Verse 1]
Summon up the violence of a child
Chop down my foundations
Bring down the house around me
Like Samson on my head
And there's something on the store
Didn't watch the dropper
Phone calls to Toronto
I forgot to sterilize
[Chorus]
All I
All I
All I want
All I want to do
All I
All I
All I want
All I want is you
[Verse 2]
There's no protection from the love
I thought, you think you need it
Jade girl throws the needles
To the bottom of the sea
I don't mend at all
I don't mend at all
From across the kitchen table
Staggering and slow
[Verse 3]
Summon up the violence of a child
Chop down my foundations
Bring down the house around me
Like Samson on my head
And there's something on the store
Didn't watch the dropper
Phone calls to Toronto
I forgot to sterilize
[Chorus]
All I
All I
All I want
All I want to do
All I
All I
All I want
All I want is you
All I
All I
All I want
All I want to do
All I
All I
All I want
All I want is you
