[Verse 1]

Is something missing in my touch?

A tension tugging at my smile?

If there's a right thing to say

I'm sure I missed it by a mile


[Chorus 1]

Swallowed in some detail, heavy in my blood

I want to hold you close but I can't lift my arms up


[Verse 2]

Is there a reason for this distance?

More than the drug that floats my days

A nervous bug in my system

It keeps me edgy and ashamed


[Chorus 2]

I've got a saint, never ever will forgive

That never understood me but still tells me how to live

It fits when I stretch and I stretch because I can


[Bridge 1]

I stretch until I'm sore and then I open up for more

I do it out of habit, not addiction

And if I give it up, clean out my blood

Will I still feel bored and disconnected?


[Bridge 2]

If I do it all for love, will I ever give enough?

‘Cause you can never be too pure or too connected

You can never be too pure or too connected

You can never be too pure
