Picking up broken words Snipping the tips off Grinding down the long ones That wind around your eardrums Dangerous plastic words For crowd dispersal And dumb dumb words That could blow your head off This is a story 'bout the three of us Down by the water and the tide is rising This world is burning and I'm terrified I need a little more time with you, oh I just need a little more time with you One fine day you'll sing Your inevitable love song Inevitable lie song Inevitable cry song Time bends broken bones Time bends broken bones 'Til they wrap around your throat And snap around your fingers This is a story 'bout the three of us Down by the water and the tide is rising This world is burning and I'm terrified I need a little more time with you, oh Down by the water and the tide keeps rising This world is burning and I'm terrified I need a little more time with you Oh, I just need a little more time with you Oh please, just a little more time with you
