You Oughta Know

(앨범: Special Affections - 2011)

Laying down in a dying forest
Buried underneath the leaves
Not knowing if I should ever come out
Not knowing my own disease

Give me time, I want to write my story
Making it all up as I go
But I don't need you to look out for me
Believe me, when I do you'll know

Working hard to keep my own head steady
Getting it as good as I give
Finally I'm feeling right and ready
Finally I'm ready to live

Taking everything in at the same time
Overloading, blowing a fuse
Wishing that I could make every word rhyme with every word that I choose

I could light the dark every time my little heart sparks burn up when you call me by my name
But you oughta know those who try to get too close just burn up in the heat of my own flame
That's why I step to my beat alone

Ever since whenever I remember
Ever since whenever I knew
I've been looking out for unknown pleasure
I've been looking out for the truth

Learning how to reinvent my body
Standing up to any attack
And if anything your love has taught me that I never want to go back

I could light the dark every time my little heart sparks burn up when you call me by my name
But you oughta know those who try to get too close just burn up in the heat of my own flame
That's why I step to my beat alone
I could light the dark every time my little heart sparks burn up when you call me by my name
But you oughta know those who try to get too close just burn up in the heat of my own flame
That's why I step to my beat alone
