[Verse 1]

At the thought of losing you

My muscles hum familiar tunes

And curl me to a naked ball

Wet on our shower floor

[Chorus]

And oh how do I unfurl from here?

[Verse 2]

At the thought of losing you

I paint my eyes and lips

And as I pull my sharpest stockings on

My ankle gives and twists

[Chorus]

And oh how do I stand up from here?

And oh how do I stand up from here?

[Post-Chorus]

If there's anything I learned while I was back in town

It's that nothing worth loving ever sticks around

If there's anything I learned while I was back in town

It's that nothing worth loving ever sticks around

But you

[Verse 3]

At the thought of leaving you

I dig my heels and screech

And like an infant hand

Wrapped 'round your thumb

I grip you like a leech

[Chorus]

And oh how would I let go from here?

And oh how would I let go from here?

[Post-Chorus]

If there's anything I learned while I was back in town

It's that nothing worth loving ever sticks around

And if there's anything I learned while I was back in town

It's that nothing worth loving ever sticks around

But you
