[Verse 1]
Head to toe and skin to skin where do I end
Where do you begin to join the thread
Taking back the only thing a boy desires
Like standing in a wind swept wild fire

[Chorus]
Emotions I’ve wasted
Buried in cold hard ground
If only to taste it
Crashing around in my mouth
Pushing through my throat
Taking me down to where I’ve been before

[Post-Chorus]
But nothing can get it off
No nothing can get it off

[Verse 2]
At times I’ve tried I've even done my very best
Been on more bathroom floors than a plumbers vest
I give and give but I don’t Know what to receive
I pray but there’s no voice to answer me

[Chorus]
Emotions I’ve wasted
Buried in cold hard ground
If only to taste it
Crashing around in my mouth
Pushing through my throat
Taking me down to where I’ve been before
[Post-Chorus]
But nothing can get it off
No nothing can get it off
But nothing can get it off
No nothing can get it off

[Bridge]
And they hurt you
They’ll tell you they know just how it feels
But they hurt you
And then someone
A loved one
Deserts you
And you’ve got to let it go

[Post-Chorus]
But nothing can get it off
No nothing can get it off
But nothing can get it off
No nothing can get it off
