[Verse 1]
Something unsightly
A love to lick each other's sores
With you, I grew big and mighty
Small and infinitely yours
You want bound so tightly [?]
Enough for others' joys, of course
You take it so lightly
It's not your hang ups for sure
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell you when I'm stronger
You can keep me here forever
They'll wish that you'd wait longer, knowing
Maybe you would do better
But could they cut it up, break it all down
For you
[Chorus]
'Cause we could talk about it
If you wanted to
'Cause we could cut it up
Break it all down for you
[Verse 2]
We both know it's something
The quiet life has no appeal
So now we must face love
For now we must makе the rules [?]
So whatevеr's left plunging through your spine is
Where I'll nail
You call it an altar
I'll call it a deal
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell you when I'm stronger
You can keep me here forever
They'll wish that you'd wait longer, knowing
Maybe you would do better
But could they cut it up, break it all down
For you
[Chorus]
'Cause we could talk about it
If you wanted to
'Cause we could cut it up
Break it all down for you
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell you when I'm stronger
You can keep me here forever
They'll wish that you'd wait longer, knowing
Maybe you would do better
But could they cut it up, break it all down
For you
[Chorus]
'Cause we could talk about it
If you wanted to
'Cause we could cut it up
Break it all down for you
