Chokehold - Intellectual

[Intro]

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Wrap me up in your warm hold

Keep me upright when I'm too cold, too cold

Let me lean on your goalposts

You can push me away if I get too close

When I lay down next to you

And you don't look my way

And my eyes stay set on the outline of your face

I'll give you your space

When I lay down next to you

But If I inched a little closer would you (Could you)

Wrap me up in your warm hold

Keep me upright when I'm too cold, too cold

Let me lean on your goalposts

You can push me away if I get too close, too close

Too close

When I stand right next to the fire

I don't move, I just watch as it takes what it desires

But I'm not that ember, I don't have what you require

You can try to play pretend but I know you've never been a liar

Don't try to be

I wish I didn't feel it, but I do when you lie with me

And every time I notice it, I try to cut your ties with me

I laid down next to you

Trying to think of my best excuse

Could you wrap me up in your chokehold

Help me lose all my control

Know I keep on moving my goalposts

Let me eat my heart out before I'm too old

When I lay down next to you

And repeat the same mistakes

Trying to think of my best excuse

So I can keep myself awake

Not a thing that I said to you is what I really wanna say

Pretend I'm protecting you

But I'm really just afraid
