lyrics

Want what you can’t have.
Crave what you can’t feel.
Do what you can.

Just save your own life one tongue at a time.
Get what you can.

He’s trying to figure it out, a way to be alone.
He’s got some luck on his side to pick a fair fight.
He said,
“Despite my condition, regardless of your tone, stuck here in this disposition, you are my Kryptonite ... I’m not that strong — you’ve got me right here where you want me.”

Raw chemical surge.
Hot, guilty, sick urge just pulls you in.

I know how this plays — same shit different day.
And back for more.

She’s trying to figure it out, a way to be alone.
She’s got some luck on his side to pick a fair fight.
She said,
“Despite my condition, regardless of your tone, stuck here in this disposition, you are my Kryptonite ... I’m not that strong — you’ve got me right here where you want me.”

You've got me right by your side.
You've got me choking in your wringer.
You’ve got me wrapped around your finger.
But I should know better.

“...I’m not that strong. You turn me on.
It feels so right ... you feel so wrong.
It’s been so long stuck waiting right here where you want me.”
