[Verse 1]
So what if I get too drunk?
What if I call you up?
And what if you answer?
Or what if I, what if I wait too long?
What if the light is wrong?
What if you change your tongue?
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to hear you say how we
Something deep
Something not like all the rest
Would you tell me every day
How I've changed?
I just need to hear you say it one last time
[Chorus]
That I'm the right place, right time
Kind of love you waited for
Your whole damn, God damned life
To be something worth the fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
But I let you down
Oh, you should just say it now
I'm like poison to you every time, time, time
Poison to you every time
[Verse 2]
We made a final stand
I showed you who I am
I thought we had this plan
Well, now it's a, now it's a different frame
You're ready to change your name
Me, I still feel the same
[Pre-Chorus]
And I need to hear you say how we (Still could be)
Something deep (Something else)
Something not like all the rest
Would you tell me every day (Every day)
How I've changed? (Every day)
'Cause I just need to hear you say it one last time
[Chorus]
That I'm the right place, right time
Kind of love you waited for
Your whole damn, God damned life
To be something worth the fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
But I let you down
Oh, you should just say it now
I'm like poison to you every time, time, time
Poison to you every time
The kind that gets inside your mind, mind, mind
Poison to you every time
[Bridge]
So what if I get too drunk?
What if I call you up?
What if you answer?
Or what if I, what if I wait too long?
What if the light is wrong?
What if you change your tongue?
Say it one last time
[Chorus]
That I'm the right place, right time
Kind of love you waited for
Your whole damn, God damned life
To be something worth the fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
But I let you down
Oh, you should just say it now
I'm like poison to you every time, time, time
Poison to you every time
The kind that gets inside your mind, mind, mind
Poison to you every time

I don’t think five or six years ago, when I started this song, I was in a position to really occupy this song’s lyric—when people hear it, they’ll know what I mean. It’s not a very positive song. There was a period of my life—around 2012, 2013, when I was at the height of the first wave of success f...
