[Verse 1]

How do you feel? Well I’m okay

Cutting through the day like a razor blade

I thought about the way I'd meet you

Thought it’d be a different day, one with less rain

I opened up the top of your mind

To see what I would find, is that alright?

I just want to be the one to go with you

Shake the doubt from your hair, okay fine

Are you searching for the wrong things?

Like the feeling when your phone rings

Wear the clothes that make you look bulletproof

Lay your war plans out in front of you

They know all about the love that you forgot about

So when you’re searching for the new thing

Then your head screams


[Chorus]

I want so much more sometimes

I’m rotten straight to the core, alright

She wants to know what it’s like, so do I

My head is spinning through every single line

I guess this is fine

More, sometimes

I’m rotten straight to the core, alright

She wants to know what it’s like, so do I

My head is spinning through every single line

Okay, alright, fine


[Verse 2]

Yeah I know the feeling you were giving away

Instead of picking all the flowers you were digging a grave

Tripping over skeletons along the way

Thinking you were one of them, give me a break

Truth be told, I’m like you

Keep myself together with a pen and some glue

And I don’t want to think about a renaissance

Started getting what I want

But none of this feels brand new

Now you know what I’m like

Walk across myself every time

I say something about your eyes

And how they look through me

Blah blah, yeah right

I recall the way you responded

I was all the way cool despondence

I’ll stay cool for as long as you want

But I can’t feel new as long as I rot


[Chorus]

I want so much more sometimes

I’m rotten straight to the core, alright

She wants to know what it’s like, so do I

My head is spinning through every single line

I guess this is fine

More, sometimes

I’m rotten straight to the core, alright

She wants to know what it’s like, so do I

My head is spinning through every single line

Okay, Alright, Fine


[Bridge]

What is there to say?

I’ll go with you anyway

I’ll take everything that fell apart and smash it into place

What is there to say?

I’ll go with you anyway

I’m so afraid of ordinary growing out of place


[Chorus]

I just... (indiscernible)

More, sometimes

I’m rotten straight to the core, alright

She wants to know what it’s like, so do I

My head is spinning through every single line

I guess this is fine

More sometimes

I’m rotten straight to the core, alright

She wants to know what it’s like, so do I

My head is spinning through every single line

Okay, Alright, Fine
