[Written by Patterson Hood]

Don't call me your baby
I won't answer
Love is like cancer
And I am immune
To all that you're bringing
The tune that you're singing
Outside of a locked room
Outside a locked room

Safe's an illusion, before the collision
Immune to decision

Don't tell me your secrets
I'd rather not listen
Or know what I'm missing
It's always too soon
It's always too soon
To be called for comfort
To belong to someone
Inside a locked room

Fate always happens when nobody's looking
Nobody's looking

I really don't care what's inside you
I won't stand beside you
Or answer your call
And I don't want to fight now
I'm only here right now
This moment is all
This moment is all

Don't call me your baby
I'm nobody's baby
I won't let you cage me
Or lock me away
I'm not yours to keep
Don't want you to save me
You're just a vacation
A one night way station
To keep me awake
Until I'm ready to sleep
