lyrics

We learn a lot
While we are still soft
Twist the omen into knots
This muscle is my home, it is my haven
& it is not enough

All we do is talk about boys
Imagine they will take off our clothes
But we are not ourselves fully formed
So no one should know

All we do is talk about girls
The playing field is littered with words
And every single one is a spy
Inside of my mind
& It’s weighing me down

A few years later
We fight a lot
Now that we have grown hard
And it’s always my fault
This muscle is my home, it is my haven
& I’ll never come out

When all we do is talk about love
I can’t even open my mouth
You’re turning all of my words around into yours
When all we do is talk about boys
Every single word is a noise
The playing field is littered with shells
With no yoke
