Pratfall

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
I have in halves
Never whole
Never whole
I have you in halves
That’s all

I abstained from religion
Indulged in dull affection
Oh, I bled thru my defenses
What I don’t know
What you won’t confess
In time will deliquesce
I suppose

Send regrets for diminishing returns
And banish desire in a letter to burn
Where did you learn to be so cold?
Emotional defector

Ah, write a letter to burn
Ah, write a letter to burn

I recall you all a’tremble
Looking oddly assembled
When push comes to shove
I’ll live check to check on your love

And I feel no pain at all
I taught myself how to pratfall
And I’ll land with my hands up
Oh, gymnastic!

Send regrets for diminishing returns
And banish desire in a letter to burn
Where did you learn to be so cold?
I thought I knew you better

Ah, write a letter to burn
Ah, write a letter to burn
