The Summer Obsession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear you til my ears pop
And I can feel erosion in my bones
Pull over let me off at the next stop
I remember how your jaw dropped
When I screamed I've got to go away
Away...
I don't need to be touched by you
I'm running down the street
Bare feet on the boiling concrete
I forgot just who I was living under your rug
I'm rotting onside out, that brokedown haunted house
And my ghost just has to go away
Away...
You are corrosive, eating me all the way through
I don't need to be touched by you
I don't need you next to me
Picking up the pieces
Of little chunks of my heart
You are corrosive, eating me all the way through
I don't need to be touched by you
