Exoskeleton

[Verse 1}
How does anybody
Leave their cards on the table
For someone who has different coloured blood?
I'm a little backwards
So are these words when they stumble out
Can we pretend we're in a cartoon?

[Pre-Chorus}
Where the stakes are low
Have you seen that show?
Nevermind

[Chorus}
Roll the stone back from my tomb
Feel alive since I met you
You're the only one
Who didn't turn away
Found myself in Timbuktu
People ask why I look so blue
You're the only one
Who didn't stop and stare

[Verse 2}
Little by little
My optimism fills
As your ectoplasm drips in my cup
Little by little the tip of my tongue
Falls out of line
And your exoskeleton sheds

[Pre-Chorus]
Can we turn off time?
Think you read my mind

[Chorus]
Roll the stone back from my tomb
Feel alive since I met you
You're the only one
Who didn't turn away
Found myself in Timbuktu
People ask why I look so blue
You're the only one
Who didn't stop and stare

[Bridge]
Gotta make my move
Gonna tie my shoes
And stride
Aaaaaah
Gonna take my time

[Outro]
'Cause I wanna get the words right
Ooooh words right
And I know it's overdue
You're the only one who can see my in the light
You're the only one who understands
Little by little I give you my love
Little by little I give you my love
