lyrics
If I was a hunter I’d kill
So that my baby’d always have her fill
And if I were a locksmith I’d make
The locks that would keep my baby safe
Take me for my words, I write for you
Take me for a spin, if you want to
Take me for my heart, and we’ll get through
You’re my darling, I’m insane
I’m only happy in pouring rain
But now it’s spring and you’re in winter sleeves
You’re white light, while mine is blue
Its seems I’m rubbing off on you
You’re my hope and I’m your travesty
If I were a pirate I’d steal
But just to buy my baby a meal
If I could be something for you
I’d simply be more than “I do”
Take it on the rocks, I have no time
Go on take my dreams, they’re out of line
Don’t think on it twice, no I’ll be fine
You’re my darling, I’m insane
I’m only happy in pouring rain
But now it’s spring and you’re in winter sleeves
You’re white light, while mine is blue
Its seems I’m rubbing off on you
You’re my hope and I’m your travesty
So that my baby’d always have her fill
And if I were a locksmith I’d make
The locks that would keep my baby safe
Take me for my words, I write for you
Take me for a spin, if you want to
Take me for my heart, and we’ll get through
You’re my darling, I’m insane
I’m only happy in pouring rain
But now it’s spring and you’re in winter sleeves
You’re white light, while mine is blue
Its seems I’m rubbing off on you
You’re my hope and I’m your travesty
If I were a pirate I’d steal
But just to buy my baby a meal
If I could be something for you
I’d simply be more than “I do”
Take it on the rocks, I have no time
Go on take my dreams, they’re out of line
Don’t think on it twice, no I’ll be fine
You’re my darling, I’m insane
I’m only happy in pouring rain
But now it’s spring and you’re in winter sleeves
You’re white light, while mine is blue
Its seems I’m rubbing off on you
You’re my hope and I’m your travesty
