Lyrics

So there’s a part of me
That wants to tell you everything
And part of me wants to learn your lines

Yeah I’d take your poetry
And slang over anything
Somehow your words melt in my mind

And nobody wants you ‘cause want is the first thing we’ll be delivered from
Once you’ve shown us how to need again

All the winners in the world
They’re all the same
They always get me down
But you melt in my mind
Off the page and out the door
I’m far away
You’ve nailed me to a cloud
You melt in my mind

You beat Napoleon
At chess said it was something you had to prove
You took his pawns his stilts his pride

Yeah pride’s just a fool’s defense
And you’ve learned to rely on other moves
You’re studying for the test of time

And all of your secrets are only things that we’re gonna know
When we’re on the road to common sense again

All the winners in the world
They’re all the same
They always let me down
But you melt in my mind
Off the page and out the door
I’m far away
You’ve nailed me to a cloud
You melt in my mind

Said you might leave me some food on the table if I’m
Making plans to tell the truth again
