Leather Belt

[Verse 1]
Right now, you're cold
I'm in the future
I'm looking back at you
I know the desk, the chair
I know your fear

[Chorus]
It's like a leather belt
Against your backside
And all the pain you felt
The adult inside

[Post-Chorus]
Now it's been six years since
You felt your life was ending
See the end as a beginning
See there's life after death

[Verse 2]
She said to him
Next time you see me, I will be an adult
I'll have a French manicure
And my own apartment
And we will drink wine
And listen to Mozart
Where were you hiding?
Did they keep you indoors?

[Chorus]
It's like a leather belt
Against your backside
And all the pain you felt
The adult inside

[Post-Chorus]
You always felt strangely strong
And you always looked for more
Living in your imagination
Behind closed doors
Right now, you're cold, right now, I know
You're very small and
No one tells you the truth
No one knows you at all, but

[Bridge]
I send you strength
My own fierce energy
And I say
Just you hibernate in possibility when

[Chorus]
It's like a leather belt
Against your backside
And all the pain you felt
The adult inside
It's like a leather belt
Against your backside
And all the pain you felt
The adult inside
It's like a leather belt
