“Volcano”
Don’t hold yourself like that
cause you’ll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
But that’s all I need
Don’t build your world around volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I’ll ask for the sea
Don’t throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need?
Don’t drag my love around volcanoes melt me down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I’ll ask what I give to you
Is just what I’m going through
This is nothing new
No, no, just another phase of finding what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
like a new disease she’s still too young to treat
Like a distant tree
Volcanoes melt me down
She’s still too young
I kissed your mouth
You do not need me.
