Busted

Song Lyrics

I forget when the words were only words
She knows the party makes me nervous
In this stage we can`t get hurt
Don`t try to understand me

We`re too cool to be alone
But, not too crazy to get busted

I found out one life just ain`t enough
I need another soul to feed on
I`m the flame I can`t get burnt
I`m wholly understated

I found silence in this space
An on and off again attraction
I need such amazing grace
Heaven sweep me away
(Chorus)
Love don`t change, don`t come around here
Don`t wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Don`t strain, cuz nothing ever comes from it
And the people we`ve become, well
They`ve never been the people who we are

I strap on one horse and prayed for luck
I dug another hole to bleed
I know exactly how this works
I need a new feel dirty

I don`t need you crowding up my space
I just want to get inside you
You can`t believe the heart you save
Giving something away
(Chorus)
I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
I dreamed that the buildings all fell down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
In my head I heard the sound
Like fifteen strangers dancing

But oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I wish I was somebody else, baby
Oh how I wish you could own me
(Chorus)
