lyrics

you ain't too certain
your heart can spark a flame again
prepare yourself, repair yourself
you waste all your memories
your love, your luck, your beauty sleep
building all those barriers
don't you know they never work
building all those barriers
to try to keep away the hurt
& i never believed that your heart
was ever missing
even though the alibi that you had
was so goddamn convincing
you ain't too certain
your heart can spark a flame again
prepare yourself, repair yourself
you waste all your energy
your love, your luck, your beauty sleep
building all those barriers
to try to keep away the hurt
building all those barriers
don't you know they never work
& i never believed that your heart
was ever missing
even though the alibi that you had
was so goddamn convincing
hit in the head with a giant rolling pin
sometimes the pain
will help you remember when
your heart was young
before it got stepped on
inside you feel a ticking time bomb
just tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick ticking
hit in the head with a giant rolling pin
sometimes the pain
will help you remember when
hit in the head with a giant rolling pin
when your heart was young
before it got stepped on
inside you feel a ticking time bomb just
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
repair yourself
repair yourself
repair yourself
repair yourself
Again
