i will own u - graham smith & kgw lyrics

Loading...

from the moment you first saw me
i didn’t bother to look back
i took it on faith, you presupposed it as fact
so, i guess, you maybe caught me
acting when i couldn’t act
you shook me so softly, i just shook you off me
but you didn’t look at it like that

so now you view a few rare moments on your private highlight reel
and you call me at some obscene hour asking how i feel
about the ways that things have gone, and are going, and probably ought to go
i struggle to feign disinterest, think too fast and talk too slow

but these are everyday concerns
and that may marginalize you
but that’s what i do
gradually and guiltlessly, oh
i’ve got a way with words
but then that shouldn’t surprise you
what, you’ve never been lied to?
this is mankind’s oldest industry
and now you’re a part of history

the dusk hangs above us
and behind it is the dawn
which, though it hasn’t much to offer
can’t take anything else from us, it’s all gone
so i guess i made a lousy lover
i like things a little too precise
but that night i buried you alive
our eyes met underneath the covers once or twice

and i saw a light in your iridescent iris
that i longed to snuff out
so, since i’m ultimately spineless
and tough to shut down
i acted like a virus
until you unwound
prolonged, sustained defiance is not tantamount to violence
it’s not a perfect science, some day you’ll come around
when time has run out

but i guess i could have told you sooner
or at least as soon as i knew
but i still don’t know a god d-mn thing
h-ll, i can’t even use a tuner or carry a tune
so i don’t know how you could expect me
to understand, though i try to
and as you interrogate you wonder why i’m acting so suspectly
what are you trying to prove?

but be these irrefutable truths
or just idle musings
faux-suicidal brooding
or if the skein of delusion is coming off
just please do not dispute
the terms i’m using
or what i’m losing
it’s a pittance compared to what i’ve lost
and no matter what the cost

i will own you
alas, i wish i had known you
would go and get stuck in a phone booth
’til the morning sunlight shone through
oh, you owe me
imagine yourself old and lonely
and though you may think you control me
that just proves how little you know me
oh slowly, the rivers come to the country
and so you came to confront me
you thought your brazenness trumped me

but you have no clue
i can pretend to console you
but the second that you let me hold you
like i told you, i will own you
