Lyrics[]
Am I more than you bargained for yet? I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear Cause that's just who I am this week Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum I’m just a notch in your bedpost But you're just a line in a song Drop a heart, take a name We’re always sleeping in, sleeping for the wrong team We’re going down, down in an earlier round And Sugar, we’re going down swinging I’ll be your number one with a bullet A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it We’re going down, down in an earlier round And Sugar, we're going down swinging I’ll be your number one with a bullet A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it Is this more than you bargained for yet? Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching you two from the closet Wishing to be the friction in your jeans Isn’t it messed up how I’m just dying to be him? I’m just a notch in your bedpost But you're just a line in a song Drop a heart, break a name We’re always sleeping in, sleeping for the wrong team We’re going down, down in an earlier round And Sugar, we’re going down swinging I’ll be your number one with a bullet A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it We’re going down, down in an earlier round And Sugar, we’re going down swinging I’ll be your number one with a bullet A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it We're going down, down in an earlier round And Sugar, we’re going down swinging I’ll be your number one with a bullet A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it We’re going down, down in an earlier round And Sugar, we’re going down swinging I’ll be your number one with a bullet A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
