lyrics
I was woken
Up by branches of daylight
Give me something
Oh, whatever you like
I throw my head back
And then you can decide
It’s the morning time
But I’m closing my eyes, uh oh.
Now we’re walking
Honesty cuts through the closed blind
Makes you nauseous and stumble into the light
Truth come alive like that, might just give you a bite
It’s the morning time- but your closin’ your eyes, uh oh.
Wait, could you give me a break?
Cut my legs at the waist
Walk around for a day in my shoes
You- Oh I never let you in
It breaks the beat of my heart
Now you want this while I was stuck in the long line
Made the offer, did what you couldn’t provide
Using a lie like that might just give you a bite
Truth come alive like that- but you’re staying the night, uh oh.
Wait, Could you give me a break?
Cut my legs at the waist
Walk around for a day in my shoes
It’s true - Oh I’d never let you in
It breaks the beat of my heart
Yeah, It beats the brakes off of my heart
I been callin’ you for long talks
You been keepin’ me from hangin’ up.
Why you hangin’ round my best friend’s house?
Seen you standin’ at the bus stop
You been keepin’ me from fuckin off
So why you hangin’ round my best friend's house?
Up by branches of daylight
Give me something
Oh, whatever you like
I throw my head back
And then you can decide
It’s the morning time
But I’m closing my eyes, uh oh.
Now we’re walking
Honesty cuts through the closed blind
Makes you nauseous and stumble into the light
Truth come alive like that, might just give you a bite
It’s the morning time- but your closin’ your eyes, uh oh.
Wait, could you give me a break?
Cut my legs at the waist
Walk around for a day in my shoes
You- Oh I never let you in
It breaks the beat of my heart
Now you want this while I was stuck in the long line
Made the offer, did what you couldn’t provide
Using a lie like that might just give you a bite
Truth come alive like that- but you’re staying the night, uh oh.
Wait, Could you give me a break?
Cut my legs at the waist
Walk around for a day in my shoes
It’s true - Oh I’d never let you in
It breaks the beat of my heart
Yeah, It beats the brakes off of my heart
I been callin’ you for long talks
You been keepin’ me from hangin’ up.
Why you hangin’ round my best friend’s house?
Seen you standin’ at the bus stop
You been keepin’ me from fuckin off
So why you hangin’ round my best friend's house?
