The Parts Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Turn off the alarm, wonder where you are
I'd be a page in your book if you let me
Miles and miles of drones, stain in a coffee cup
The truth will start to creep in if you let it
[Chorus 1]
I wanted to know each part
Want to know each part of you
[Verse 2]
A yellow SUV, Britney Spears on the ceiling
You'd look my way but you weren't talking to me
Pulling up to Rob's, some Camel Lights, Averso
Your tan skin felt like universal envy
[Chorus 1]
And I wanted to know each part
Want to know each part of you
[Verse 3]
Give it thirteen years, both your legs up, you're crying
Trying to push a life out from your belly
And I'm a water boy, overwhelmed by the screaming
Your clenched teeth, nails dug deep into my meaning
[Chorus 2]
And I still want to know each part
Want to know each part of you
Yeah, I still want to know each part
Want to know each part of you
[Bridge]
Who? You
You
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, I still want to know each part
Want to know each part of you
