Verse
I’ve been through it all—failures, freefalls,
Fell in love ‘cause I crave the impossible call.
Suckers and vamps, I don’t read palms,
Our love is where God and the Devil shake arms.
It’s unjust, it’s unkind, it’s a curse divine,
I roll dice on the afterlife, bet my spine.
Every turn’s a gamble, a blade to my name,
I chase glory, then run when I call it a game.
Heated and rainy like I’m a federation,
Preachin’ salvation while plottin’ damnation. (Oh!)
One hand in grace, the other in crime,
One step from Heaven, but Hell in my mind.
(One step from Heaven)
(But Hell in my MIND!)
(But Hell in my MIND!)
(But Hell in my MIND!)
Chorus
That’s why I want her, (Mmm)
That’s why I want her, (Ohh)
That’s why I want her, (Yeah)
That’s why I want her
(I WANT HER!)
Verse
Horizontal on a hammock, sideways on a cross,
Both positions romantic, both come at a cost. (Ooh!)
One is survival, the other’s a tomb,
One’s the cradle, one’s the wound. (Pick one!)
One’s a prayer in a whisper of night,
One’s a storm in a flickering light.
One’s a mother’s touch, soft, divine,
The other’s the rubber that stops the bloodline. (Damn!)
The bloodline (Damn!)
(But Hell in my MIND!)
(But Hell in my MIND!)
Chorus
That’s why I want her, (Mmm)
That’s why I want her, (Ohh)
That’s why I want her, (Yeah)
That’s why I want her
(I WANT HER!)
Verse
My psyche spills out on a highway of screams,
Knockin’ on the door of my own dead dreams. (Wake up!)
I push and push and push my soul underground,
But the soil don’t take, so I dig back out.
I can’t get nothin’ right, so I work to oblivion,
Only to wake and laugh upon ruins. (Ha!)
Only to laugh, then awaken to gold,
A king with no kingdom, a story retold.
That’s why I want her, she’s carved in my bones,
She whispers my name in the silence alone.
That’s why I want her, the pull and the fight,
A love that won’t kill me—but just might.
That’s why I want her, (Mmm)
Outro] [x2
That’s why I want her, (Mmm)
That’s why I want her, (Ohh)
She holds my fate in a cradle of sins,
The edge of my blade and the breath of my skin. (Damn!)
(I WANT HER!)
