THE LYRICS:
Tonight I
lay
And stare at a ceiling that hears your name
I wanted to
Be in the body of person that’s holding you
The dead dry heat
Goes to my head and I kick my feet
Into the wall
When we do things in my head
There’s no fight at all
Chorus:
Cause I’m someone who
You give some wreckage to
I’m not her, I’ll pretend
I bet you never thought
You’d ever touch me again.
I’m someone who you gave some wreckage to
You’ll never be my friend
It’s the only way I’ll ever touch you again.
It’s
me you can’t see
In the body of the person
You’re used to being in your bed
You think you’re touching her
But it’s me instead
I’m in your sleep
I crawl into your talk
When you’re thinking deep
You made me go
But I’m someone you
Will always know
Repeat Chorus
I look in
your eyes
And you’re not hating me
Virtual reality
Repeat Chorus
She’s
the body I go through
To get to you…
