WHY DO I WANT YOU

Cause the words don’t end / And we are the same
Will you rule me out when I steal home plate
And I hold my tongue like an empty drink
I’m sopping wet from my old beliefs

Why do I want you / Why do I want you
Why do I want you / Why do I want you

So I muss my hair like ten thousand dice 
And you cozy up to cold advice
My brother the wind / My sister the light
I want you to win, but tie me tonight

Why do I want you / Why do I want you
Why do I want you / Why do I want you

I float like your little Hindenburg
Tracing the spaces inside your words
Your preemptive posture to not let them push you around
I float like your little Hindenburg 
Tracing the spaces inside your words
Your preemptive posture to not let them push you around

Why do I want you / Why do I want you
Why do I want you / Why do I want you

Cause the words don’t end / And we are the same
Why do I want you

So I held my tongue like an empty drink 
All sopping wet from my old beliefs
And you mussed my hair like ten thousand dice 
I want you to win, but tie me tonight
