I hold you closely you push me away I want forever you just want today Give me your fingers wash out your mouth Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch But I don't blame you You're always right I'm like a bad day On your good good night I hear the tick of a bomb All your hair in a fuse You ask me for a light To blow away these blues Run me a bath, then plug me in I'm like a T.V. learning to swim But I don't blame you You're always right I'm like a bad day On your good good night I hold you closely you push me away I want forever you just want today Give me your fingers wash out your mouth Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch But I don't blame you You're always right I'm like a bad day On your good good good good night
