I just want to feel things like you
Then I could know how to love you
If I could just see inside your head
I would know who to be instead

But it wouldn't be me
It wouldn't be me
But just a word from you would change me.

If I could just peel the skin from you
Then I would know how to touch you
Give you my hands like lovers do
I would know where to lead you

But would you [bad word] with me?
Would you [bad word] with me?
I couldn't take your hand and lead you nowhere

Inside nothing stays the same
It's like a race to the one who takes the blame
In your eyes I see the lies unfold
That's not the way that the story's meant to go

If I could be there to pull you through
You could use your nails to save you
If I could be the one who really knew
The one you need to tell your secrets to

Do you feel but resist?
Do you feel but resist?
Do you know I exist?
Could you ever want me like this?

Inside nothing stays the same
It's like a race to the one who takes the blame
In your eyes I see the lies unfold
That's not the way that the story's meant to go

In the dark it's right
In the dead of night
But it spills away
In the light of day
