lyrics

you should leave
i've been drinking
from that well again
and i can't pretend it's not sweet
but i am willing to be seen
if you want me

i can tell
you've been daydreaming
of something pure
and though i am sure that's not me
you've had my permission
your disposition freaks me out
cause you're just like how i used to be

i step to the tick tock of your timebomb

you should leave
in the morning
for now just keep pouring one out for me
im not so naïve
but i am willing to suspend my disbelief
if you want me

i step to the tick tock of your timebomb
i know i'm gonna get gone by the time it goes off
why's it gotta be so hard? i wish i could just be soft
i don't wanna hurt no one
tell me what you wanna do huh

tell me what you're gonna do huh
you wanna love me after all i've done?
you wanna love me and leave me all undone?
sorry i promise you honey i'm not the one
you should leave

i step to the tick tock of your timebomb
i know i'm gonna get gone by the time it goes off
why's this gotta be so hard? i wish i could just be soft
i don't wanna hurt no one
tell me what you wanna do huh

told you honey if i get what i want
i'm still losin
if i beg for your love
i'm still choosin

dancin around the room
up on yr tippy toes
feels like i'm fakin it
i kiss u on the nose <3
