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
