lyrics

You gave me a gift that i couldn't regift or give back to you
I don't wanna look at the things i don't like but i'm sifting through
When no one was home we took off all our clothes in the kitchen
Running and hollering, laughing, i knew that was living
Just a comical dance
Not a drink in the hand

I touched the pan
Yeah i knew it was hot
So why'd I touch it?
Being carefully cruel to the things that you love is still careless
When no one was home i took cup after cup to the attic
Hiding and crying out “how could i fall for my old tricks”
But it was right in my light and looking divine

When i was stupid i thought everything should be perfect
Like good was a muscle that’d grow without having to work it
Well that can't be right
