Picking up broken words
Snipping the tips off
Grinding down the long ones

That wind around your eardrums

Dangerous plastic words

For crowd dispersal
And dumb dumb words
That could blow your head off


[Chorus]
This is a story 'bout the three of us

Down by the water and the tide is rising
This world is burning and I'm terrified
I need a little more time with you, oh

I just need a little more time with you

One fine day you'll sing

Your inevitable love song
Inevitable lie song


Inevitable cry song

Time bends broken bones

Time bends broken bones
'Til they wrap around your throat
And snap around your fingers


[Chorus]
This is a story 'bout the three of us

Down by the water and the tide is rising
This world is burning and I'm terrified
I need a little more time with you, oh


Down by the water and the tide keeps rising
This world is burning and I'm terrified

I need a little more time with you
Oh, I just need a little more time with you
Oh please, just a little more time with you
