Crooked

I don't even want to be in love with you
Flip my whole life upside down
I don't even want to be in love with you
Don't want to lose myself

Don't want to fall and I don't want to cry
Don't want to need you beside me at night
Don't want to claim you and own what you do

So we'll just throw on some blinders, ignore the sign
Saying "Turn back now"
We'll just grip our hands tighter and rise up together
As our heads reach the clouds

But I can feel this rushing force, like a tsunami to the beach
And I can only brace for impact and I'd be fine if I could breathe
But the water's closing in, and to myself I must repeat that
The only out is through it so kiss me long and kiss me deep

Ooo, ooo

I can see it stretched before us, our whole kingdom of the sweet
But its existence is as tenuous as lightning from the heat
And though half my lungs are rooting for the avoidance of defeat
The other half can only sing of you in ecstasy

Ooo, ooo

Tonight I'm sleeping crooked on the mattress
Crooked on the mattress, crooked on the mattress

I can see it stretched before us, our whole kingdom of the sweet
But its existence is as tenuous as lightning from the heat
