Salty Sweet
MS MR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the question I know that hasn't crossed your mind
That hasn't crossed your mind
Heart beat a step find it hard to catch my breath
Or Put this one to rest,
Damned if I do it and bored if I don't
No winners in this place when you're caught up in this chase
Dream, dream, dream of perfection
We fear rejection, prize attention, crave affection
Just another pop confession
I solemnly swear I am up to no good
I'd get out now, If I were you I would
Pick at my nails slowly flake away
'Til they leave my hands in bloody pain.
The longer we linger
The sooner we warp
The longer we linger
The sooner we warp
We fear rejection, prize attention, crave affection
Dream, dream, dream of perfection
We fear rejection, prize attention, crave affection
Just another pop confession
Fear, prize, crave, dream
Fear, prize, crave, dream
Fear, prize, crave, dream
Fear, prize, crave, dream

The problem lies in the answer I won't find
There is an issue with the solution to my problem that I won't be able to discover
To the question I know that hasn't crossed your mind
I have a question that I know you haven't thought of yet
Heart beat a step find it hard to catch my breath
My heart is beating quickly and I'm having trouble breathing
Or Put this one to rest,
Either we need to resolve this issue or let it go
Damned if I do it and bored if I don't
If I take action, I'm in trouble, but if I don't, I'm uninterested

Just another pop confession
This is simply another confession commonly found in pop music
I solemnly swear I am up to no good
I promise that I'm not doing something beneficial
I'd get out now, If I were you I would
If I were you, I would leave now
Pick at my nails slowly flake away
I am slowly and meticulously picking at my nails, causing them to crumble
'Til they leave my hands in bloody pain.
Until my hands are sore and bleeding from the picking
The longer we linger
The more we stay in this situation
The sooner we warp
The quicker things will turn unpleasant
Fear, prize, crave, dream
We are afraid, value attention, desire affection, and fantasize about being perfect
Fear, prize, crave, dream
We are afraid, value attention, desire affection, and fantasize about being perfect
Fear, prize, crave, dream
