You have a mythological beauty
You have the eye of someone I have seen
Outside of ordinary situations
Even outside of dreams
You lie in bed at night and watch the lines of headlights through your screen
There is a child inside you who’s trying to raise a child in me
[Chorus]
If you wanna leave
You just have to say
You’re all caught up inside
But you know the way
[Verse 2]
You cut the flesh of your left thumb
Using your boyfriend’s knife
Seventeen, you took his cum
And you gave birth to your first life
You gave Andrew a family who you thought would love and take better care
I have an older brother I don’t know
He could be anywhere
[Chorus]
If you wanna leave
You just have to say
You’re all caught up inside
But you know the way
You’re all caught up inside
But you know the way
[Verse 3]
Rented a house in Nisswa, Minnesota
Shrapnel and oil cans, rhubarb in the yard
I built a ladder out of metal pieces
Father was working hard
Standing beneath the oak tree by the front door
You were inside baking bread
Sister came out and put her arms around me
Blood gushing from my head
You held me in the backseat with a dishrag, soaking up blood with your eyes
I was just five and you were twenty-seven
Praying, “Don’t let my baby die.”
[Chorus]
If you wanna leave
You just have to say
You’re all caught up inside
But you know the way
You’re all caught up inside
But you know the way
[Outro]
So much more to live your life
To walk the floor
To say goodnight
Do you leave your light on?
Do you leave your light on?
You’re all caught up inside
But you know the way
[Verse 1] You have a mythological beauty You have the eye of someone I have seen Outside of ordinary situations Even outside of dreams You lie in bed at night and watch the lines of headlights through your screen There is a child inside you who’s trying to raise a child in me [Chorus] If you wanna leave You just have to say You’re all caught up inside But you know the way [Verse 2] You cut the flesh of your left thumb Using your boyfriend’s knife Seventeen, you took his cum And you gave birth to your first life You gave Andrew a family who you thought would love and take better care I have an older brother I don’t know He could be anywhere [Chorus] If you wanna leave You just have to say You’re all caught up inside But you know the way You’re all caught up inside But you know the way [Verse 3] Rented a house in Nisswa, Minnesota Shrapnel and oil cans, rhubarb in the yard I built a ladder out of metal pieces Father was working hard Standing beneath the oak tree by the front door You were inside baking bread Sister came out and put her arms around me Blood gushing from my head You held me in the backseat with a dishrag, soaking up blood with your eyes I was just five and you were twenty-seven Praying, “Don’t let my baby die.” [Chorus] If you wanna leave You just have to say You’re all caught up inside But you know the way You’re all caught up inside But you know the way [Outro] So much more to live your life To walk the floor To say goodnight Do you leave your light on?
