Two Day Coma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of your happiness
I've started strong I'll just go on
Make up the rest
I want to be an awful
Fucked up mess
If I go wrong I'll carry on
You're that feeling that keeps beating
in my chest
I want to be the composer
Of your favourite song
I want to be that tune
That you can't help but hum along
I want to be the producer
Of your wildest dreams
I want to be the stitching
That holds together the seams
I want to be the only other
Member of your team
I want to be the artist
That colours you in
I want to be that little tickle
On your skin
I want to be the architect
Of your happy home
I want to be the first and last line
Of your favourite poem
I want to hear the sound of muffled laughter
Through the phone
