| Someday, I hope for a lover to kill me
|
| It’s the closest I can hope to get to anybody
|
| It’s the closest I can come to being really free
|
| And there’s a ring of questions on my mind lately
|
| Like will I find a love that lasts as long as my life?
|
| Or will I die before ever becoming a wife?
|
| And I’m wondering if I’m even the marrying kind
|
| How can I give you my life when I know you’re just gonna die?
|
| Is there anything stronger than biology?
|
| Is love being ruined by technology?
|
| Nowadays, commitment seems like a burden to carry
|
| I don’t wanna think about it
|
| I don’t wanna (I don’t wanna)
|
| Think about it (think about it)
|
| I don’t wanna (I don’t wanna)
|
| Think about it (think about it)
|
| I don’t wanna (I don’t wanna)
|
| Think about it (think about it)
|
| I don’t wanna think about it
|
| It’s too scary
|
| And the closest I can come to being really free
|
| Is letting my lover perform experiments on me
|
| Observe and analyze
|
| And empirically hypothesize
|
| 'Cause I wanna know real love so desperately
|
| But I think it’s gotta happen scientifically
|
| 'Cause I’m scared, afraid of real intimacy
|
| You know, the kind they say happens psychologically
|
| Dressed up like a surgeon, you cut open my heart
|
| Remove the brain and leave the body in charge
|
| No more emotions taking control
|
| We’ll pick a part and play out our roles
|
| Further than fantasy
|
| Deeper than love could ever be
|
| Further than fantasy
|
| Deeper than love could ever be
|
| And the only best friends I ever made
|
| Were people I knew I didn’t have to see every day
|
| The closest to true love I ever came
|
| Was with someone I kept many miles away
|
| 'Cause I’m wary of eliminating distance
|
| This could surely be the death of any romance
|
| 'Cause I’m shitty and I’m lame and I’m dumb and I’m a bore
|
| And once you get to know me, you won’t love me anymore
|
| And that possibility worries me the most
|
| Not harm or abuse or becoming a ghost
|
| It’s the closeness, the intimacy
|
| I’m afraid it might kill me
|
| Further than fantasy
|
| Deeper than love could ever be
|
| Further than fantasy
|
| Deeper than love could ever be |
