Ah
Chewing gum, I know
Don't like the sour taste that's in my throat
But the voice in my head says, "Do you have the stones?"
When you get close enough
I'll let down my braids and you'll climb up to my room
We can do anything you want
Everyone that I've slept with
All the pairs of hands, I'm reckless
I'm fine without it, why can't I stop?
Everything I want speeding up my pulse
I don't sleep, don't dream at all
Gave 'em nothing personal
So I'm not affected
I've been the ice, I've been the flame
I've been the prize, the ball and chain
I've been the dice, the magic eight
So I'm not affected
I've been the siren, been the saint
I've been the fruit that leaves a stain
I've been up on the pedestal
But tonight I just wanna fall
Tonight I just wanna fall
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
Mirror, mirror on his shirt
I see a hot mess in an antique skirt
And the voice in my head says, "Don't let him leave alone"
I become her again
Visions of a teenage innocence
How’d I shift shape like that?
Everyone that I've slept with
All the metal that I've messaged
If I'm fine without it, why can't I stop?
Everything I want speeding up my pulse
I don't sleep, don't dream at all
Gave 'em nothing personal
So I'm not affected
I've been the ice, I've been the flame
I've been the prize, the ball and chain
I've been the dice, the magic eight
So I'm not affected
I've been the siren, been the saint
I've been the fruit that leaves a stain
I've been up on the pedestal
But tonight I just wanna fall
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
I'll kick you out and pull you in
Swear that you were just a friend
And when it's all over again
Say I'm not affected
I'll kick you out, it rushes in
You said you were just friends
And I'm in, all over again
Say I'm not affected
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-hah
No, I'm not affected
And tonight, I just wanna fall
