Back when my feelings were as new as my highlights
You were as cool as the air
In cities, I dreamed about
Now I've moved on to someone softer than I'd like
They use their words how you used your knives
Shake me like a dream
And a nightmare
In the middle of the night
And I don't know what it means
But I know I'm scared
And I can't put up a fight
These days all I think about is you and the city I'm from
And the things we went through
You shake me like a dream
And a nightmare
You're my terror
Someone's always there
No one ever knows
Back when my feelings were for boys with fast metabolisms
Substance was something to abuse
A part of me will always be in your magnetism
You're something I cannot refuse
There's something about a person no one really knows
Everybody thinks they do, but they don't
Tell me what you love, tell me what you hate
Tell me what you're trying to escape
Tell me if it's drugs, tell me if its fate
When you look at me that way
