lyrics

i will leave my jacket sleeves rolled up
you borrowed it one evening, feeling cold
wore it into town, made it back by curfew
gave it back to me with the neatest folds

i will read your book and return it quickly
i won’t think about every note you’ve made.
read it in a day, let myself feel sick
i’ll isolate the heart with a barricade

i am not here to win
but i am not here to lose to you
i know that i have always been
a sleep talker, saying names

spend all my time awake
afraid of what i’ll never tell you
scared of how i’ll always wait
for you to tear me up

for you to tear me up
for you to tear me up

i have always been so good at
staying on the bull at the carnival
never let it go, even when i should
yeah even when it’s over, dead and dull

i am not here to win
but i am not here to lose to you
i know that i have always been
a sleep talker, saying names

spend all my time awake
afraid of what i’ll never tell you
scared of how i’ll always wait
for you to tear me up

but you can tear me up
yeah you can tear me up

i know we talked about it
i never said what i mean
wanna grow old with you
i guess that’s kind of obscene
