Sacrilege

You know me

What pulls songs from my throat, fills my eyes with life and ecstasy

I don't write about you, I write about me

There will never be words to describe what you are

And it's taken the place of the brakes out my car

Now I'm makin' my way, just a lonely V8

Tearin' up interstate, and it's thanks to you, babe

You looked at me like I'm crazy, it was never enough

Wanna be the whole world's baby, I would give it all up

I would give it all up, I would give it all up

I'd never put your name in a song

It'd feel like sacrilege and it'd come out wrong

I'd rather step in front of a train than use my baby's name in vain

But I'm not a wild-haired movie girl

And my hands were far too cold in yours

At least I know what I was put down here for

I'll get out and entertain the world

You looked at me like I'm crazy, it was never enough

But I don't remember it raining for that world ending love

Still, I'd give it all up, I'd give it all up

But I love you in a way that a rabid fuckin' dog would

Desire terrifies me, that's what got this whole thing started

You've seen me pull at myself, try to kill the impulses

To want is to live and that's not what a girl's for

I've heard that that's not what a girl's for

It always comes back to the same soft room

The sun's just gone down and it's just us two

You know I'm gon' stay far as you want me to

And we can both pretend this song's not about you

You looked at me like I'm crazy, it was never enough

I could've spent this time changing, you can see that I'm not

Don't have to give it all up, but I gave it all up

And I'd do it again in a moment
