HEADSTART - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

She's holding her breath like she’s scared of it leaving

She's biting her tongue like I did last night

I said sorry but she just came closer and whispered

"It hurts pretty bad but it tastes kind of nice"

'Cause Love’s got an evil twin sister named Power

Who sticks by her side everywhere that she goes

You give somebody one, then you give them the other

So pleasе understand if I'd rather keep both

'Cause thеre's no part of me that can't be torn apart

If you're not ready to leave, then I'll take the head start

[Verse 2]

I've put too much trust in feelings for too much of my life

I convinced myself to love you before you had even tried

And now look where you are, curled up underneath your sheets

Teary-eyed, waiting for me

To pop up on your phone, it’s another night wasted

If you want control, well, then why don’t you take it?

When you don't get what you want, you start forgetting what you need

You do what you can to prove that you’re still relevant to me

I'm the fish that takes the bait just to be taken for a ride

If there's one thing that you've taught me, it’s that love is just a fight

Between a bug and a boot, so c'mon, choose your fighter

If you'll be the moth, I guess I'll be the lighter

[Chorus]

And times change like a compass

I'm turning away from this

There's more fish in the sea

Most of which have not hurt me

You passed by like a comet

You rolled through quick like Sonic

Now you want me to stay

A couple hundred miles too late

[Verse 3]

I didn't say yes, I didn't say no

When you asked if she's mine but I'm sure that you noticed

The change in my eyes, the change in my manner

The distaste for me that you wave like a banner

Seems to disappear when you start to play sober

To tell me you're sorry, you've thought it all over
