Tough Cookie
I imagine you with a knife in your teeth
Red grin splitting as you smile for me
Does it hurt?
Do I make it worse?
Do you wish you didn't know me?
You say
"I'm a tough cookie
I can take a hit
But your love doesn't hurt
Not a single bit
Just don't pull away
And don't run too fast
We can be molasses
Be made to last
Just stay."
You know, I'm not sure we're a healthy pair
But the way you're looking at me
Makes me not wanna care
Feet sinking in the sand
I think I'll stay for a while
You got your hands in my hair
And I'm staring at your smile
You know, you've got a penchant for an underdog
And I've got a habit of wandering off
Don't wanna leave
Just wanna go
But where I'm going
I don't know
I apologize for showing my hand
Being vulnerable was never part of the plan
Did it work?
Does it sound rehearsed?
Do you wish you-
Do you wish you-
Do you wish you didn't hear all that?
I know you're a good listener
You'll nod and smile
But I'm not a good talker
It'll take me a while
I can't bear to ask you to wait
For what's on the tip of my tongue to say
Please stay
You know, I'm not sure we're a healthy pair
But the way you're looking at me
Makes me not wanna care
Feet sinking in the sand
I think I'll stay for a while
You got your hands in my hair
And I'm staring at your smile
You know, you've got a penchant for an underdog
And I've got a habit of wandering off
Don't wanna leave
Just wanna go
But where I'm going
I don't know
I'm afraid I'll make you bleed
If I ask for what I need
I'm a tangled, knotted thing
But you've got me unraveling
I'll run away from home
And before you even know
I'm right back here
I'm right back here
I'll run away from home
And before you even know
I'm right back here
I'm right back here
I imagine you with a knife in your teeth
Red grinning splitting as you smile for me
Red grin splitting as you smile for me
Does it hurt?
Do I make it worse?
Do you wish you didn't know me?
You say
"I'm a tough cookie
I can take a hit
But your love doesn't hurt
Not a single bit
Just don't pull away
And don't run too fast
We can be molasses
Be made to last
Just stay."
You know, I'm not sure we're a healthy pair
But the way you're looking at me
Makes me not wanna care
Feet sinking in the sand
I think I'll stay for a while
You got your hands in my hair
And I'm staring at your smile
You know, you've got a penchant for an underdog
And I've got a habit of wandering off
Don't wanna leave
Just wanna go
But where I'm going
I don't know
I apologize for showing my hand
Being vulnerable was never part of the plan

Do you wish you-

I'm right back here
I'm right back here
I'll run away from home
And before you even know
I'm right back here
I'm right back here
I imagine you with a knife in your teeth
Red grinning splitting as you smile for me
