This song, titling the abum, tells a really personal story about the narrators’s experiences in a relationship to a woman he has known for some time.

[Verse 1]
The last time you held me, I was drunk, I was off my face
Wanted to give you a piece of the sky for your embrace
'Cause I don't ever wanna be yours to keep, I'm such a waste
It's nice to know you're there but I'm headed south of Westway
[Verse 2]
Born together, she cut the cake
I drowned the liver, and kissed the drain
A spinnin' cycle, she's got no brakes
A trigger spoke loose, this broken chain
I don't ever wanna be yours to keep, I'm such a waste
It's nice to know you're there, but I'm headed south of Westway
[Bridge]
I'm still awake
For another Tuesday
Don't fall asleep
Grab a hold and cut you free
[Refrain]
Yeah, if you want it then
Come out and fight for it
Come out and fight for it
[Chorus]
She found love, but in the wrong kind of place
Yeah, she said she needed shelter, but I don't have the space
And it's all covered in molly, yeah, I made a mistake
Yeah, I let you down
She fell over under some kind of state
Yeah, we fell through the clouds, it was a devilish fate
And it's all covered in powder, yeah, I made a mistake
Yeah, the sun goes down
[Refrain]
Yeah, if you want it then come out and fight for it
Yeah, if you want it then come out and fight for it
Yeah, if you want it then come out and fight for it
(Yeah, if you want it then come out and fight for it)
[Outro]
This is an unsent letter
(Yeah, if you want it then come out and fight for it)
I know that I won't forget her
(Yeah, if you want it then come out and fight for it)
This is an unsent letter
(Yeah, if you want it then come out and fight for it)
I know that I won't forget her
'Cause I don't ever wanna be yours to keep, I'm such a waste
