[Verse 1]
I lay awake stuck by this fickle thorn
I lay with you so they won't sink in their claws
I lay awake while the beasts and the whores are
Dancing in, dancing in, dancing in the jaws, jaws, jaws of a landfill

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I ever gonna let you in before I see it coming?
Systematic in decay

[Chorus]
I'm dying to feel what you feel now
You've already been such a sweetheart
And I know we all get scared, we all get scared
Too much head, but too little heart, oh honey
I want your touch, such a shame that I am numb, honey
Too much head, but too little heart, oh honey
Not meant to be this way

[Verse 2]
Lover, oh lover, oh lover, you'll never know
You'll never know because
Lover, lover, breathing down my neck
Incendiary breath, and still my lover is a burden
Tell me something - could you smell my fear?
As I lay there, cringing on your bed
[Chorus]
I'm dying to feel what you feel now
You've already been such a sweetheart
And I know we all get scared, we all get scared
Too much head, but too little heart, oh honey
I want your touch, such a shame that I am numb, honey
Too much head, but too little heart, oh honey
Not meant to be this way

[Bridge]
Maybe my seed found purchase in your soil
It's just a fight, a futile fight to feel connected
I lay awake stuck by this fickle thorn
Instead of tending to its prick, I lay, infected

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I ever gonna let you in before I see it coming?
Systematic in decay

[Chorus]
I'm dying to feel what you feel now (You've already been)
You've already been such a sweetheart (Such a sweetheart)
And I know we all get scared, we all get scared
Too much head, but too little heart, oh honey
I want your touch, such a shame that I am numb, honey
Too much head, but too little heart, oh honey
As I lay there cringing on your bed
Too much head, but too little heart, oh honey
Not meant to be this way
