Animal Lyrics
The deep's too deep and the salty sweet in this white room
The tall's too tall for a girl to fall through a blood moon
I didn't know your teeth were swords, no I didn't
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta hold on to you
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta race her
I gotta, I gotta go this far
You didn't know
I locked myself in your heart
I can't get out
Unless you tear me apart
It always burns but I never learn to keep driving
Slow motion chase plays on repeat in my head
Between the lost and the faintest layers is your woman
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta maniac
That's sitting, she's sitting on my shoulder
I gotta, I gotta go this far
You didn't know
I locked myself in your heart
I can't get out
Unless you tear me apart
I try to feel
Feel my way through the dark
Instincts don't help
A lonely animal
Animal
Animal
I loved you too hard
I loved you so hard
I never measured up to your mathematics
I never settled like the dust inside of your attics
I got a, I got a, I got a resting place
But cannot, but cannot, but cannot find her
I gotta, I gotta work this out now
You didn't know
I locked myself in your heart
I can't get out
Unless you tear me apart
I try to feel
Feel my way through the dark
Instincts don't help
You didn't know
I locked myself in your heart
I can't get out
Unless you tear me apart
I try to feel
Feel my way through the dark
Instincts don't help
A lonely animal
Animal
Animal
I loved you too hard
I loved you too hard
I loved you too hard
The tall's too tall for a girl to fall through a blood moon
I didn't know your teeth were swords, no I didn't
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta race her
I gotta, I gotta go this far
I locked myself in your heart
I can't get out
Unless you tear me apart
Slow motion chase plays on repeat in my head
Between the lost and the faintest layers is your woman
That's sitting, she's sitting on my shoulder
I gotta, I gotta go this far
I locked myself in your heart
I can't get out
Unless you tear me apart
I try to feel
Feel my way through the dark
Instincts don't help
A lonely animal
Animal
Animal
I loved you so hard
I never settled like the dust inside of your attics
But cannot, but cannot, but cannot find her
I gotta, I gotta work this out now
I locked myself in your heart
I can't get out
Unless you tear me apart
I try to feel
Feel my way through the dark
Instincts don't help
I locked myself in your heart
I can't get out
Unless you tear me apart
I try to feel
Feel my way through the dark
Instincts don't help
A lonely animal
Animal
Animal
I loved you too hard
I loved you too hard

About this line:
"I gotta, I gotta, I gotta race her"
Are you sure it's not 'razor'? It sounded like she said razor lol. Pretty intense. Well...if it's wrong, way to tone the song down :)
Btw, I love this song so much.
