Lyrics[]
I'm the accident, waiting to happen
It's just a matter of time
Back of the car again
Wondering why I got so determined to say
"I lack the courage to take care of myself"
Well, ain't that a turn on, babe?
Turn this car around, I need somebody
To hold me when the morning comes
Go on on and save me
I'm sinking in to my feelings
And I'm scared they're gonna drown my confidence
Go on and save me
I might look capable, but I'm not
These days, you're all that I've got
I'm the acrobat, turning around inside
Of bad circuitry mind
Under the covers, I don't wanna come out
Until you make me feel alive
I've got the money to take care of myself
But I spend my time on suffering
Just this time around need your body
If only when the morning comes
Go on on and save me
I'm sinking in to my feelings
And I'm scared they're gonna drown my confidence
Go on and save me
I might look capable, but I'm not
These days, you're all that I've got
You're all that I've got now (go on on and save me)
I'm sinking in to my feelings
And I'm scared they're gonna drown my confidence (ooh)
Go on and save me
I might look capable, but I'm not
These days, you're all that I've got
