Bottle you up

You and that body

It’s a room that I want in

So I tell you who I know

But you guard the door, cool

Just tell me whatcha wanna know

 

You could say a lotta things

And go and get away with them

But if I tell a couple jokes

I could go on and ruin everything

Just tell me whatcha wanna know

 

Well I catalog these sights and smells

They help me write the songs I tell

​

I don’t let love flutter by

I don’t ever let my ‘ships just sail away

But I can’t seem to bottle you up

Can’t seem to bottle you up

But I can’t keep it bottled up neither

I need her

 

You say love don’t count

When you’re packed in the backseat with a blacked-out roommate

You say love don’t amount

To more than a passing taxi hauling juveniles in the moonlight

There used to be rules that we got used by

But now you’re free to waste yourself

And I wanna protect ya, I don’t wanna help

 

Like I capsulize these lightning bugs

They light the eyes in the heads I stuff

I crucify my butterflies

I don’t ever let what’s green just fade to gray

But i can’t seem to bottle you up

Can’t seem to bottle you up

But I can’t keep it bottled up neither

Who now?
