lyrics

I can admit I never thought I’d
see the day when I could feel this way again

she is obsessed with carnal otherness, she is obsessed with me
she is obsessed with original sin, she is obsessed with original sin
she is obsessed, she is obsessed, she is obsessed with me

tell her that she’s understood, no,
you are on your own, oh,
you are the whole thing just now --
don’t worry baby
she knows that this life’s unfair, no,
you are on your own, oh,
you are the whole thing, baby

you’ve got ahold of something -- you can’t explain it
you looked inside and it was scary
and if you push me down, does that make it better?
you can be rough with me baby

I just can seem to be who you want me to
with my worn-out songs and point of view
tell me what you want, tell me what you want,
tell me, tell me, tell me,
tell me what you want from me

‘cause I’d like some weight off…
I’d like some weight off of me…
I’d like some weight off…
I’d like some weight off of me…

everything that you want, don’t you know I want it too?
everything that you want, don’t you know I want it too?
