You said this could have been the best thing 00:19
That ever happened to you, so you decided not to do it 00:23
Now you come back every summer like a carnivorous flower 00:28
And I stare at your hands in the heat, and I 00:32
Think they are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen 00:36
But if I was free to love you 00:44
You wouldn't want me, would you? 00:49
Unavailability is the only thing that turns you on 00:53
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong 01:02
I've blown apart my life for you 01:10
And bodies hit the floor for you 01:13
And break me, shake me, devastate mе 01:15
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong 01:18
I don't love you, I just love the bomb 01:28
Buildings falling is the only thing that turns me on 01:36
I've blown apart my life for you 01:46
And bodies hit the floor for you 01:48
And break me, shake me, devastate mе 01:50
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong 01:52
I don't love you, I just love the bomb (oh-oh-oh) 02:02
I let it burn, but it just had to be done (oh-oh-oh) 02:11
And I'm in ruins, but is it what I wanted all along? 02:19
Sometimes you get the girl, sometimes you get a song 02:27

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You said this could have been the best thing
That ever happened to you, so you decided not to do it
Now you come back every summer like a carnivorous flower
And I stare at your hands in the heat, and I
Think they are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
But if I was free to love you
You wouldn't want me, would you?
Unavailability is the only thing that turns you on
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong
I've blown apart my life for you
And bodies hit the floor for you
And break me, shake me, devastate mе
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong
I don't love you, I just love the bomb
Buildings falling is the only thing that turns me on
I've blown apart my life for you
And bodies hit the floor for you
And break me, shake me, devastate mе
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong
I don't love you, I just love the bomb (oh-oh-oh)
I let it burn, but it just had to be done (oh-oh-oh)
And I'm in ruins, but is it what I wanted all along?
Sometimes you get the girl, sometimes you get a song
