I read on the internet
You kiss someone
The next 6 months
Their DNA stays in your system
It's a matter of time til it's missing

And I heard every 7 years
That new cells grow
Replace the old
I wish I could stop it completely
Then maybe your touch wouldn't leave me

If only moving on were that scientific
I'd step into new skin, forget you existed

But I wanna hold onto
The parts of me that have you on 'em
I'm physiologically doomed
Can't stop the clock so I just watch it
Maybe if I don't look down
Won't see my nails growing out
If I don't look in the mirror
Won't see my roots going brown
Don't wanna turn into someone new
Don't want a body that doesn't know you

I'm told heartache's in the brain
The push and pull
Of chemicals
Will slowly fall back into balance
But I'm fighting it off
Cause feeling okay's not worth the cost

Of slowly erasing the trace of your fingertips
So here I am stubbornly digging my feet in

'Cause I wanna hold onto
The parts of me that have you on 'em
I'm physiologically doomed
Can't stop the clock so I just watch it
Maybe if I don't look down
Won't see my nails growing out
If I don't look in the mirror
Won't see my roots going brown
Don't wanna turn into someone new
Don't want a body that doesn't know you
I don't want a body that doesn't know you

It starts with my nails
And it starts with my roots
It starts with the little things adding up til I'm someone new
Then I'll be painfully aware
Of every gray hair
I'll feel the echo of the years
Through the ring in my ears
And I'll look in the mirror and see someone I don't know
All because I could never let you go

I wanna hold onto
The parts of me that have you on 'em
I'm physiologically doomed
Can't stop the clock so I just watch it
