I dance to please my mother
But I fall flat
I spin to show my lover
I'm all that
I scream to warn my brothers
We're all getting old
I wish away the summers
So I'm told
Scrape the breath from my lungs
Hang your coat on my tongue
Use me up 'til I'm gone
Til I'm gone
I drive 90 an hour
To see how far I've come
I sit down in the shower
To feel more than numb
I peer through his window
To see her on the floor
Then i scream into the carpet
Cause I'm no longer yours
Scrape the breath from my lungs
Hang your coat on my tongue
Use me up 'til I'm gone
Til I'm
Stretched so thin I hope you notice
Peel back skin, just to focus
Driving home
I'm undoubtably missing my fingers
Retracing my steps to retrieve them
