[Intro]
I was saving, I was saving, I was saving
I was saving myself for you
I was saving myself for you
I waited my whole life for you
(Without you, what's the point?)
I was saving myself for you
[Verse 1]
Tonight we'll be throwing a party
Under the sunset we started to drink
A little faster now
The celebration, so many faces
I say the words as the moon painted us blue
[Chorus]
I've been saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
I waited my whole life for you
'Cause I was saving myself for you
Now brother, bring that beat back
[Verse 2]
Now hold on, this is innocent blood, all the beach boys look like sharks
Because without you nothing ever mattered
I scream and wave my arms, but you don't understand me
Now as I watch them feed on you, it's over
If I die, you die too
[Chorus]
Because I'm saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
I waited my whole life for you
'Cause I was saving myself for you
I just wanted one dance with you
[Bridge]
And one night under the smoke alarm
Every single door in this house is on fire
So melodramatic, but it turns me on
I close my eyes it feels just like a movie
I'm convinced that we don't make sense
But, I'd kill anyone who gets close
[Chorus]
I've been saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
The sharpest thing I find for you
'Cause I was saving myself for you
I've been saving myself for you
I saved myself for you (Oh)
Don't you know I'd die for you
I saved myself for you
[Outro]
Without you, what's the point?

Vic Fuentes in a track-by-track for AltPress:
“This is a very selfish song that basically says, "If I can’t have you, then no one can.” I think this has gone through everyone’s head at least a couple times in their life. The theme of this album talks about these natural thoughts and feelings to wan...
