a thumb to a stove
I'm not the hero that you asked for or you need
I'm merely me and if that isn't what you want to see
Then I suggest paying for a front row seat
'Cause then at least your old-tomato-aim will be clean
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
I may not seem the type to stick to broken dreams
But my worst fear is seeing all my patchwork falling apart at the seams
And if it seems to be or seems to be to me at least
Then I'll be better off without that holy trinity
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Be kind, be good, be true, be wholesome, young, and you
That's what they say before you find out that nobody's really that way
Be a skeptic kleptomaniac, wreck the fun it for everybody else so
They know that you're the boss
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
I'm merely me and if that isn't what you want to see
Then I suggest paying for a front row seat
'Cause then at least your old-tomato-aim will be clean
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
I may not seem the type to stick to broken dreams
But my worst fear is seeing all my patchwork falling apart at the seams
And if it seems to be or seems to be to me at least
Then I'll be better off without that holy trinity
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Be kind, be good, be true, be wholesome, young, and you
That's what they say before you find out that nobody's really that way
Be a skeptic kleptomaniac, wreck the fun it for everybody else so
They know that you're the boss
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
Hold me like a thumb to a stove
Read me like the name on a list that nobody knows
Hug me like a body made of clothes
Treat me like the rag that you leave on the floor
