We came into the room like water rushing through a flume in the night And the Neighbors were all sleeping 'til we woke them with our fleeting sighs And the shadows on the walls were dancing circles around us Reflecting the dust in our eyes 'Cause in the heat of the moment you were all that I needed But in the morning, that same feeling was depleted I never wanted anything but the real thing Somebody to love me like that I never really ever knew what I wanted But I think I'll know when I want it back When no one has to know No one has to know The things we did When you were mine And I was yours And we were ours, together Well, I snuck out the door And held hands with my shame for too long And tried to scrub off the sadness 'Cause I thought it would never be gone 'Cause the people in the church would tell us we were both sinners And try to save us with their Jesus songs And we'd roll our eyes and try not to resent them 'Cause we'd already been to heaven I never wanted anything but the real thing Somebody to love me like that I never really ever knew what I wanted But I think I'll know when I want it back When no one has to know No one has to know The things we did When you were mine And I was yours And we were ours together 'Cause I'm usually no good at keeping secrets And I've been known to swim in the deep end You could be my silver lining And I'll let you love me If we turn out the lights credits

Nothing's working out the way I planned it The future is a tease I can't get back at I'm terrified of all the things I can't predict And what scares me the most is that I'm getting used to it Nightmares follow me down the hall like that boy in school who used to taunt me And in my head I'm always searching Now I'm thirteen again Who will know how to love me When I can feel myself going crazy Who will keep me steady When not a bone in my body can hold me up And I can't help but wondering Who could love someone who's unstable Keep me steadfast love Tip toe on the high-wire My legs are shaking and I'm overtired I'm obsessed with all the things I can't control And what I want the most is what I can't be told Nostalgia is always biting and Never puts me back where it finds me Who am I to complain We're all running in circles (pre chorus, chorus) Yesterday I fell apart in the middle of my own song, In the middle of my own show and who's to know where to go 'Cause I thought when I was older I would understand but age is just a number and I'm more confused than ever But I will know how to love you When you feel yourself going crazy And I will keep you steady When not a bone in your body could hold you up And you can't help but wondering Who could love someone who's unstable, unstable.. Be my steadfast love, Keep me steadfast love...

Ever since I saw your face Everybody wears a halo Something's swelling in my chest I think I'll be okay though Ever since I felt your breath Sneak softly through my ear Everybody sounds like heaven Cause your voice is all I hear I'm not a fortune teller I'll never know my place But I believe in angels Ever since I saw your face Ever since I heard you singing Everybody's sprouting wings And I only feel like flying Cause I don't know how to sink anymore, no I'm not a fortune teller I'll never know my place But I believe in angels Ever since I saw your face You're all the good I see, You're all the good I see in this world

Tipsy lover Vagabond Stays the night but then she's gone You can try to change her Keep her at her will But she's no good at standing still And you can kiss her at her feet But why even bother Before you have the chance to speak She'll scream and holler I'm not yours, I'm not yours, I'm not yours, I'm not yours, I'm not yours Wild woman No she won't behave Won't be kept up in a cage You didn't mean to hurt her You just held on too tight She couldn't wait to get out of your sight And you can give that diamond ring But she don't want your money Before you get down on one knee She'll be out the door and running (chorus) It's not your fault but maybe it is She's just a runner and you can't resister her She's not your lover and you can't keep up with her

Oh, what I would do to hold my hands over your wounds I don't care if it's not pretty Stay with me Not all of life is the cold bathroom floor Or the aftermath of your parents divorce Not all of it is pretty, but stay with me Let your body move to the sounds around you And let the blood rush through your veins I'm a sad girl, too and I'll hold onto you When you need to feel something Little babe, little someone's daughter I know it's hard to feel safe in open waters Not everything will drown you out Not all of life is the razor thin Repercussions of a kitchen knife on your skin Not all of it will drown you out Let your body move to the sounds around you And let the blood rush through your veins I'm a sad girl, too and I'll hold onto you When you need to feel something Babe whenever you want, you can talk to me Anytime of the day or night, you can talk to me You're never too much for my arms Never too heavy on my heart Talk to me or don't say anything Let your body move to the sounds around you And let the blood rush through your veins I'm a sad girl, too and I'll hold onto you When you need to feel something
