Under Your Thumb

I'm out of breath while breathing
Can't sleep when I am sleeping
My heart beats while it isn't beating
I'm speechless while I'm speaking
Can't say what I've been reading
My eyes can't make out what their seeing

Go and scatter all the things I thought that mattered
Til I am covering the floor
Separating all that's shiny from what's tattered
In my rightest mind I'll still want you more

Because I'm overcome and under your thumb
But all is well on this wave of a swelling heart
Overcome and under your thumb
But I'll stay perfectly still
As you take me gently apart, take me gently apart

You're innocent but guilty
You empty me and fill me
I'm spinning while I'm solid on the ground
And now that you have started
And I'm no longer guarded
You build me stronger as i'm coming down

Go on and scatter all the things I thought that mattered
Til I am covering the floor
Separating all that's shiny from what's tattered
In my rightest mind I'll still want you more

Because I'm overcome and under your thumb
But all is well on this wave of a swelling heart
Overcome and under your thumb
But I'll stay perfectly still
As you take me gently apart, take me gently apart

Take me gently
You make it easy
I'll stay forever
Your arms around me
We'll come together
So sweet and slowly

Because I'm overcome and under your thumb
But all is well on this wave of a swelling heart
Overcome and under your thumb
But I'll stay perfectly still
As you take me gently apart, take me gently apart
