lyrics

number 1 is number 2
reshape myself for you
go chasing my Cinderella
trynna show her unicorns
i can make a home for her
burn it down when she is gone
and sleep in the soot
holding on to her halo

well, you know where to find me
you’re never ever far from me
and i will never ever let you down
you can always come Cry To Me
don’t you worry about her
don’t you worry about her
we could kill time in your room
we could kill time on your rooftop

and you and me relapse
slip back into bad ways
you are an instrument
i don't know how to play
and you and me relapse
slip back into those bad old ways
you are an instrument
i don't know how to play

my Chinese lanterns
catch fire and burn
and come down
in flames
if my body is a home
then i’m an arsonist
death by a thousand cuts
death by a billion drinks

i will help you fall asleep
and i will see you through the night
and i will show when you need me most
i’ve always got time for your black moods
don’t you worry about her
don’t you worry about her
we could kill time in your room
we could kill time on your rooftop

and you and me relapse
slip back into bad ways
you are an instrument
i don't know how to play
and you and me relapse
slip back into those bad old ways
you are an instrument
i don't know how to play

i’m on fire
but i’ve just gotta ride it out
