Why'd you want me to hold you
You hate me tonight
You keep turning your back
As we lay side by side
I put my hands around your throat
And make a most unpleasant joke
Then you tell me your windpipe's a bit
To the left you push down on my thumb
Till you run out of breath
I release and laugh
About how it don't hurt
There's nothing better
And nothing worse
We're not knowing the meaning
Behind what we said
Emotions I don't know their place
Sometimes they pour out of your face
Your eyes, your teeth
They penetrate and pierce me
And then I deflate
And quickly blow around the room
It's ok I didn't want the moon
Only to share in a couple of clouds
And if they break apart we're found
But then it's just a lovely day
Why'd you want me to hold you
Until your heart aches
I was wanting to fold you
Until your legs break
I put my hands around your neck
And to confirm what you already suspect
I am willing to hold you
As long as you'll wait
