Dot my T's and cross my eyes

I know it's something about me you dislik

Cut my hair and pierce my ears

Tattoo my arm that holds you, dear

Holding on while the holding's good

But I fear for our foreverhood

I tighten my corset to keep you close

But if you'll stay only gods know

 

Dot my T's and cross my eyes

Stick my tongue out at this traumatic life

Shave everything just to make you comfortable

My natural beauty just ain't compatible

I want you to stay ere while the staying's good

But I fear for our foreverhood

I wrap us up in our dark quilt

Shadows so you don't see my guilt

 

Dot my T's and cross my eyes

Keep me away from lover's lies

Write our names in the bathroom stalls

In permanent ink so we won't ever fall

Falling in love while the falling's good

But I fear for our foreverhood

You button me up in a straight jacket

 

I won't shut up but you know I like it

 

Dot my T's and cross my eyes

I won't give up on what is mine

Split my tongue and slash my shirt

Give it up, this will hurt

Letting go while the letting''s good

There goes our foreverhood

 

 

Dot my T's and cross my eyes

Growing old with my own light

Dot my T's and cross my eyes

Dot my T's and cross my eyes
