I was just testing the water 
seeing if my head was screwed on 
no crossed wires, no half-heart 
these gut strings pull on battery love
i’m still figuring it out
i’m just writing it all down
i’m still figuring it all out
out of time and not a minute too soon
I had my mouth round the speakers
sinking my teeth into thin air 
now I’m beat, and against the odds 
admit defeat, my lock-jaw-love 

and they said I would never walk again
