Between the box springs and the mattress
Is where I store my thoughts
Everything I want to be
And everything I'm not
Below the bedside table
The stale carpet dust
I'll spend my summer searching
For someone I can trust
X-Acto Knife, X-Acto Knife
Your shiny blade, the plans I've made for you
X-Acto Knife
X-Acto Knife, X-Acto Knife
My sharpest friend, how I depend on you
X-Acto Knife
When the hour's getting later
Just you and a glowing screen
I have a burning notion
To tell you what I mean
Don't judge until you've heard it all
The only friend I've got
My sacred absolution
And I don't want to get caught
X-Acto Knife, X-Acto Knife
Your shiny blade, the mess I've made with you
X-Acto Knife
X-Acto Knife, X-Acto Knife
You're going to save my life, stay close to me
X-Acto Knife
