Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' in
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' in
It's quiet company
It's quiet company
[Verse 2]
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' in
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' in
It's quiet company
It's quiet company
It's quiet company
[Verse 3]
And I can't fall asleep
Without a little help
It takes a while to settle down
My shivered bones
Wait till the panic's out
[Verse 4]
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
Company
[Verse 5]
It's quiet company
It's quiet company
And I won't follow you
Into the rabbit hole
I said I would but then I saw
You shivered bones
They didn't want me to
[Verse 6]
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' in
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walkin' in
[Verse 7]
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
