it takes one to know one - e1iza lyrics
[verse 1]
i cut a line for a spot down by the creek
i signed a waiver, broke a deal
but now i’m working by the beach
and i never learned just how to swim
(well, f*cking tell me if you’re through now
well, are you through now, baby, are you?)
didn’t read the fine print
but i’m teaching myself how to stay afloat on my own
on my own
[verse 2]
and ever since i took off it’s been such a scandal
you’re saying “i’m just a woman,” and i don’t know what to handle
sat laughing with your t**th in my neck
and you broke all the bones in my spine as i slept
babe, it takes one to know one, as you’re slamming the door shut
at the back of the tour bus, you’re packing your bags up
so i watch you, cause you think that i’m bad luck
spoiling your plans, for walking out for another man
[verse 3]
starved to death and late on rent
woke up face down, tied by the limbs
bending over your bathroom sink
you caught me swimming through amphetamines
you don’t know how much this means to me
holding my hair while i’m on my knees
retching the rest of my guts like it feels so free
i broke down sobbing on the tile floor, when i finished you were out the door
[bridge]
feet in the sand, head in your hands
terminal two to take off or land
drive you out next to john wayne, you’ll fly out now, on the next plane
picking fights with a force that you can’t blame
no, you can’t blame, no you can’t blame, no you can’t blame
[verse 4]
woke up from the rubble of a crushed*up semi*truck
crawling out from the wheel and i couldn’t help but think, like, f*ck
has it been six weeks? was it just six months?
being touched in the wrong way, and you’re no fun on a bad day
with your hands on my waist, it’s a sad thing
slamming hard on the brakes in the fast lane, in the fast lane
[verse 5]
caught over the county line, you know what to take if it was mine
it’s all your proper possession, you’ll always get what you mention
so when i’m coming on back, be the first at my pension
chasing god on the wrong train, guess i’m no fun on a bad day
carving scars in a girl that you can’t change
but i know, babe it takes one to know one, to know one
