Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said this could have been the best thing
That ever happened to you
So you decided not to do it
Now you come back every summer like a carnivorous flower
And I stare at your hands in the heat
And I think they are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
[Verse 2]
But if I was free to love you
You wouldn't want me, would you?
Unavailability is the only thing that turns you on
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong
[PreChorus]
I've blown apart my life for you
And bodies hit the floor for you
And break me, shake me, devastate me
Come here, baby
[Chorus]
Tell me that I'm wrong
I don't love you, I just love the bomb
Buildings falling is the only thing that turns me on
[PreChorus]
I've blown apart my life for you
And bodies hit the floor for you
And break me, shake me, devastate me
Come here, baby
[Chorus]
Tell me that I'm wrong
I don't love you, I just love the bomb
I let it burn, but it just had to be done
And I'm in ruins, but is it what I wanted all along?
[Outro]
Sometimes you get the girl
Sometimes you get the song
