Just another episode of tenderness
In a long, long string of similar events
Like a chain or whip around my neck
That's the only part I want, you say
Can I come over?
Is it too late?
Would you keep me
Keep me in a cool, dry place?
With my head on your shoulders
Not too much weight
Would you keep me
Keep me in a cool, dry place?
And with all my extra rods and cones I see
That the rhythm's more important than the melody
Ten segments in an orange
Only so many ways that you can pull apart someone
Can I come over?
Is it too late?
Would you keep me
Keep me in a cool, dry place?
With my head on your shoulders
Not too much weight
Would you keep me
Keep me in a cool, dry place?
And once the dust has settled, then you'll know
That you're gonna get more of me than you bargained for
All the ways we can go wrong
Will we ever get that far?
Can I come over?
Is it too late?
Would you keep me
Keep me in a cool, dry place?
With my head on your shoulders
Not too much weight
Would you keep me
Keep me in a cool, dry place?
Can I come over?
Is it too late?
Would you keep me
Keep me in a cool, dry place?
With my head on your shoulders
Not too much weight
Would you keep me
Keep me in a cool, dry place?
