Love me like you're leaving
Come the break of day
Touch me like you're aching-
I'll keep the pain at bay
Love me like you need healing
I'll show you how to pray
Oh love, love,
Love is the remedy
Too many times
You've left me high and dry
Too often to count I've been the thorn in your side
Blinded by the wanting
Half crazy by the need
We stumble in the darkness
Can't look too eager to please
Too many times
You've left me high and dry
Too often to count I've been the thorn in your side
Both too proud to beg for it
But now I'm falling to my knees
Love me like you're leaving
Come the break of day
Touch me like you're aching-
I'll keep the pain at bay
Love me like you need healing
I'll show you how to pray
Oh love, love,
Love is the remedy
I would never question
Your integrity
If you found it necessary
To come running back to me
The answer on your lips
Is my sweetest sin
Don't know whether to drink you in
Like poison or medicine
I would never question
Your integrity
If you found it necessary
To come running back to me
The answer on your lips
Is my sweetest sin
So here we go again--
Into the spin
Come on, come on,
Love me like you're leaving

I've been a bad, bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And its a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong
And I want to suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings
The consequence at hand
But I keep livin' this day Like the next will never come
Oh, help me
But don't tell me to deny it
I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies
'Till I'm good enough for him
I got a lot to lose, and I'm bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you:
Before it ends, just tell me where to begin
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say?
The devil wants to know
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

I believe he said what he meant
When he tells you he needs you
And calls you "the best"
One too many times I've watched you
Loan him a fifty
When he's broke as a joke
Talking about how he's gifted
Don't tell me it don't weigh on your mind
He's playing poker online
While you work 9-5
And everything he can do
You can do backwards
Everything he can do you
You can do backwards
Everything he can do
You can do backwards
Backwards and in heels
I'm sure he's an admirable gent
If you happen to catch him
In the right moment
Too many times I've seen you
Spot him a fiver
When he's thirsting for beer
And he don't have a dime, dear
Don't tell me it's never crossed your mind
You're trying to break that glass ceiling
He's trying to catch a free ride
And everything he can do
You can do backwards
Everything he can do you
You can do backwards
Everything he can do
You can do backwards
Backwards and in heels

Sailor

I want to be ruthless
I want to be unkind
I don't want to be prudent
I don't want to be wise
I want to be unfeeling
I want not to mind
I want to turn the tables;
The next scar won't be mine
To be a fearless sailor
In the great black night
Leaving a trail of hearts in my wake
He won't even recognize me,
War paint on my face
Built to bend but never break
I want to be steely
And learn to take what's mine
I want to twist the knife
And not bat a pretty eye
I want to leave him blinded--
The brightest burning star
No, I am not broken;
I am a warrior.
To be a fearless sailor
In the great black night
Leaving a trail of hearts in my wake
He won't even recognize me,
War paint on my face
Built to bend but never break

Sour

Something about you's just so addictive
I'm hungry for what only you give
I'm not gonna bring you home to mother-
We're not friends, only lovers.
The way you kiss,
Well it makes me nervous
I'm losing my mind and you do it on purpose
Dearest friends, thanks for the advice
I would stop but it feels too nice
Like an addict
It's not right
Like a hangover
Every night
You're turning me sour boy,
You're doing me harm
In your company I am just five senses
No reason left to hold up these broken fences
I'm not gonna bring you home to father
We're not friends, only lovers
The touch of your hand peels away my focus
I'm clay and branches trying hard to be a fortress
Dearest friends, thanks for your advice
I would stop but it feels so nice
Like an addict
It's not right
Like a hangover
Every night
You're turning me sour, boy
You're doing me harm
