Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Patience fits like a glove
I'm golden, reflecting the sun
I've seen how all of you run
With this cadence, dollars and all
[Verse 2]
I get scared of erasure 'cos it
Just seems to happen, don't it?
I know they don't want me to run it
Too bad that I'm the one who does
I've tried to be grateful for living
While punching the top of a coffin
I still want to live forever
But I'm not the one you want
[Chorus]
I need you too
When it's all said and done
I never lose
With you on my arm
I'm selfish, true
But I need ya to myself
[Verse 3]
How are you feeling?
Fucking fantastic
A fall guy tasting the gun
You might be a bee sting
Making me feel things
You're just passing the buck
[Chorus]
I need you too
When it's all said and done
I never lose
With you on my arm
I'm selfish, true
But I need ya to myself
Need ya to myself
Need ya to myself
[Bridge]
If I can't get an angle
If I can't get an angle
Tell me, how am I supposed to feel?
If I can't get an angle
If I can't get an angle
[Bridge]
Tell me, how am I supposed to feel?
If I can't get an angle
If I can't get an angle
[Verse 4]
Patience fits like a glove
When you are reflecting the sun
[Chorus]
I need you too
When it's all said and done
I never lose
With you on my arm
I'm selfish, true
But I need ya to myself
Need ya to myself
Need ya to myself
