lyrics

I’m not asking for you to be in my dreams,
Darling it’s been a while since this felt clean.
We once dreamt of the world as ours to seize,
Now the nights grow cold and I am not your queen.

Please, even in my dreams, refrain from lying in my bed.
Because it’s hard to keep track of all the waking words that you’ve said.
It’s hard now to distinguish the different shades of red.
It’s hard for it to be so easy in my dreams where you tread.
It’s harder now to walk away [walk away] knowing I have been your thread.

but We’ve overthrown the throne of our love (x3), & keeping secrets safe just isn’t enough. it isn't enough

whoaa---

… I’ve lost my marbles!! Let ‘em roll free! (x3) roll free!

I gave you a ride, you gave me nostalgia & butterflies
(and someone new to think about at night)
I gave you shivers, you gave me shivers.
I gave you opportunity, you gave me confidence.
I gave you melody, you done some medicine.

But we’ve overthrown the throne of those nights (x3) & keeping secrets safe just isn’t right. it isn't right.

whoaa---

… I’ve lost my marbles!! Let ‘em roll free! (x3) roll free!

So what are you thinkin’ Lincoln?
Ya got me California dreamin’
& we could run away – yeah me and you we could be sneakin’
creakin’ floor boards got me steadily creepin’
all through them blankets, & all through your weekend,
over these oceans, over these nights
there wouldn’t be those secrets to keep right and tight.
don’t make a sound or they’ll be on the scent
ebbin’ and flowin’, we’re not broken we’re just bent.
learn from the spider the warp and the weft
‘cause once i run away there’s no tellin’ what’ll be left --
yeah takin’ stock of inventory but my marbles I’ve lost
got-a couple screws lose, at a pretty high cost
but I like how I function!, the resentment I’ve tossed!
my hardware’s loosy goosy but I’m my own boss b-boss b-boss-boss…

I’ve overthrown the throne of my mind (x3),… ‘cause for keeping track of all I’ve lost, psshh I don’ t have time.

whoaa---

… I’ve lost my marbles!! Let ‘em roll free! (x3) roll free!
