Lyrics
Find another songAh
Chewing gum, I know
Don't hide the sour taste that's in my throat
But the voice in my head says, "Do you have the stones?"
When you get close enough
I'll let down my braids and you'll climb up in my room
We can do anything you want
Everyone that I've slept with
All the pairs of hands, I'm reckless
If I'm fine without it, why can't I stop?
Everything I want speeding up my pulse
I don't sleep, don't dream at all
Gave 'em nothing personal
So I'm not affected
I've been the ice, I've been the flame
I've been the prize, the ball and chain
I've been the dice, the magic eight
So I'm not affected
I've been the siren, been the saint
I've been the fruit that leaves a stain
I've been up on the pedestal
But tonight I just want to fall
Tonight I just want to fall
Yeah, tonight I just want to fall
Mirror, mirror on his shirt
I see a hot mess in an antique skirt
But the voice in my head says, "Don't let him leave alone"
I become her again
Visions of a teenage innocence
How’d I shift shape like that?
Everyone that I've slept with
All the metal that I've messaged
If I'm fine without it, why can't I stop?
Everything I want speeding up my pulse
I don't sleep, don't dream at all
Gave 'em nothing personal
So I'm not affected
I've been the ice, I've been the flame
I've been the prize, the ball and chain
I've been the dice, the magic eight
So I'm not affected
I've been the siren, been the saint (All shapes of)
I've been the fruit that leaves a stain (Shapeshifter)
I've been up on the pedestal
But tonight I just want to fall
Yeah, tonight I just want to fall
Yeah, tonight I just want to fall
I'll kick you out and pull you in
Swear that you were just a friend
And when it's all over again
Say I'm not affected
I'll kick you out and pull you in (All shapes of)
Swear that you were just a friends (Shapeshifter)
And when it's all over again (Oh, huh)
Say I'm not affected
Oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
No, I'm not affected
But tonight I just want to fall
