Second story backyard view
Cheek to shoulder blade waking up next to you
A breathing crooked shape
I’ve been here a hundred times
Staring at the wall practicing every line
That I can never say

Take it one time, take it one time, take it again
Soon there won’t be anything left
Giving every piece of my heart

Things are not as they first seem
I heard that from someone who heard it from me
An overplayed melody
I don’t wanna sing that song
Going through the motions isn’t singing along
Or someone I wanna be

Take it one time, take it one time, take it again
I’ve been hanging on by a thread
Waiting for your voice in the dark
Take it one time, take it one time, take it again
Soon there won’t be anything left
Giving every piece of my heart
Take it one time, take it one time, take it apart

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

Take it one time, take it one time, take it again
I’ve been hanging on by a thread
Waiting for your voice in the dark
Take it one time, take it one time, take it again
Soon there won’t be anything left
Giving every piece of my heart

I don’t blame you for what you can’t see
I don’t blame myself for wanting you to be everything I need

Take it one time, take it one time, take it again
I’ve been hanging on by a thread
Waiting for your voice in the dark (Take it one time, take it one time)
Take it again
Soon there won’t be anything left
Giving every piece of my
Take it one time, take it one time
Take it apart
