lyrics

Down
Once / or twice or maybe three times maybe more. / You know I can’t be sure. / Was / it you that I made love to on the floor? / I know I’ve seen your face before. / Bring me down. / Bring me down. / Bring my feet back to the ground. / I’m getting tired of just floating around. / Why / owe you a thing for anything
that’s less / Than my emptiness? / I / solation’s made me harder to impress. / I just like myself too much, I guess. / Wear me down. / Wear me down. / Wear my resistance to the ground. / I’m getting tired of leading you around. / Do / be do be do be do be do be doo / Do you like that song too? / U / niverses open up beneath our shoes / For our worn out soals to fly through. / Burn it down. / Burn it down. / Burn my past down to the ground. / I’m getting tired of dragging it around.
/ I’ve been living underground with this old piano that I found but I’m getting tired of how I sound. / As detached as I may seem, / I need someone to hold on to me. / I laugh / at the sound of each door closing as I pass. / But there’s no going back. / Half / of me would like to be your better half. / If you’ll let me keep my worse half. / Lay me down. / Lay me down. / Lie here beside me underground. / I could get used to having you around.
