Crooked Lyrics

I don't even want to be in love with you

Flip my whole life upside down

I don't even want to be in love with you

Don't want to lose myself

Don't want to fall and I don't want to cry

Don't want to need you beside me at night

Don't want to claim you and own what you do

So we'll just throw on some blinders, ignore the sign

Saying "Turn back now"

We'll just grip our hands tighter and rise up together

As our heads reach the clouds

But I can feel this rushing force, like a tsunami to the beach

And I can only brace for impact and I'd be fine if I could breathe

But the water's closing in, and to myself I must repeat that

The only out is through it so kiss me long and kiss me deep

Ooo, ooo

I can see it stretched before us, our whole kingdom of the sweet

But its existence is as tenuous as lightning from the heat

And though half my lungs are rooting for the avoidance of defeat

The other half can only sing of you in ecstasy

Ooo, ooo

Tonight I'm sleeping crooked on the mattress

Crooked on the mattress, crooked on the mattress

I can see it stretched before us, our whole kingdom of the sweet

But its existence is as tenuous as lightning from the heat
