lyrics

You've got my skin jumping off of my muscle
what little I had left
I can't move when you're in my way
I can't ever move anyway
You've got my nerves all crumpled like tin foil
the only guts I had
are subverted and diverted by your sweet little laugh
you're the best thing that I'll never have
let me break some promises to you
you'll never need someone like me
but can't you feel that
I can't get my body to breathe

I guess it could just be the oxytocin
It could just be the serotonin
but I feel like I could
never love you
half as much as I always have
I guess it could just be the dopamine
or some other catecholamine
but I feel like I could
never love you
any more than I always have

All my thoughts are fretfully regretful
I don't know what I was thinking back then
I can't move when I'm in my way
I can't move
when you're away
You've got my brain all twisted and backward like a cat and a loose ball of yarn
we've got miles both
on and between us
does that sound anything like a start
let me break some promises to ya
despite everything love's circumstantial
but can't you feel that?
Somehow this time must be special

I guess it could just be the oxytocin...

Let me break some promises to ya
there's no end to this pain that we feel
but can't you feel that
there's something between us that's real
