lyrics

i was too young for sucking my thumb
i thought i was happy
you were okay with showing restraint
i'll waltz til you want me

but i don't how
i'm gonna get down

i was too old, rotten and cold
i'll wait til you take me
i was in chains, there's blood in my brain
i want to be holding you

somehow
i've gotta get down
but i don't know how
i'm gonna figure it out

but something's still coming
my way, i know
i'm making a lot of mistakes
i'm gold

i'm gonna get down
it's just a little too loud

i was too young for sucking your thumb
i thought of chicago
we got a little too drunk, too lost and in love
no shadows here to bother us

somehow
are you talking me down?
i don't know how
i'm gonna figure it out

but sometimes i swear
it's never gonna come my way
i'll meet you right here
and i'll be your golden chain

that's how i know how
it's gonna shake down
i said i swear i know how
it's gonna shake down

doot doot doot doo doo doo doo
