say you say you wanna go for a ride
say you want me by your side
tell me you like the pit in your throat
and for it you would die
chokin chokin like bottle neck
on a root that tugs so sweet
hey you hey i wanna be with you
grip tight and knuckles white
i'll twist you twisted up into my braid
and swing you out of here
fold you up into a paper boat
rip apart on a wind so fierce
we'll fade away with phantom pains
and flicker light years away
you'll rain on me with phantom drops
and soak me invisibly
if you're thinkin of leaving me
you best be on your way
do me a favour unshackle me
and make it quick and fast
smearing paint to cover your scent
and you say you wanna be friends
hey you hey when you see my ghost
make sure you're not alone
i'll twist you twisted up into my braid
and swing you out of here
fold us up into a paper boat
rip apart on a wind so fierce
you'll rest your cheeks in puddles and potholes
trying to lose the guilt
fill the space with sights and sounds
that make you fall asleep
