[Verse]

And I've turned down every hand
That has beckoned me to come
You're my number one, you're the one I want
And I've turned down every hand

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're the one I got, you're the one I got
So I'll keep turning down the hands
That beckon me to come
[Chorus]

Hear it call, hear it call, hear it call to me, constantly
And hear the harmony only when it's harming me
It's not real, it's not real, it's not real enough
[Outro]
But I will be the one you need
The way I can't be without you
I will be the one you need
I just can't be without you
Geyser was written by Mitski.
Geyser was produced by Patrick Hyland.
