The closer I get, the closer I come
In matters of you, in matters of tongue
It’s hard to resist the urge to construct
A fortress of useless words

‘Cause whatever comes out
Out of my mouth
Whatever comes out
Out of my mouth
Whatever comes out
Out of my mouth
Always comes out wrong

I might as well drink gasoline
Light a match and swallow it clean
I might as well drink gasoline
‘Cause I burn for you

The higher you get, the higher you give
Desire to let, desire to live
Suffer my fears, suffer my faults
Save a fortress of useless words

‘Cause whatever comes out
Out of my mouth
Whatever comes out
Out of my mouth
Whatever comes out
Out of my mouth
Always comes out wrong

I might as well drink gasoline
Light a match and swallow it clean
I might as well drink gasoline
‘Cause I burn for you
I burn for you
I burn for you

The closer I get, the closer I come
In matters of you, in matters of tongue
Suffer my fears, suffer my faults
Save a fortress of useless words

I might as well drink gasoline
Light a match and swallow it clean
I might as well drink gasoline
Light a match and swallow it clean
I might as well drink gasoline
Light a match and swallow it clean
I might as well drink gasoline
‘Cause I burn for you
