lyrics

I was pretty convinced that I had my shit together
When I fell into your arms and my whole world just shattered
Well, I’m no longer your boyfriend, I’m a father of two
I’ve got three different jobs and I still can’t repay you

There’s not a square inch that’s not yours, where you haven’t been before
There’s not a square inch of my life where you want me to compromise

LOVE, show me your teeth! Make me want to fight for it again
LOVE, sink your teeth in! You’ve become the tiger in my lifeboat

I was under the impression that I was too old for this stuff
I thought I grew out of it and someday switched it all off
Baby, it’s time we reconsider our neo-calvinist ideals
I hate to acknowledge how inadequate they have been

LOVE, show me your scars! Force me to take care of you again
LOVE, dig your nails in! You’ve become the tiger in my lifeboat
LOVE, show me your teeth! Show me how to live without restraint
LOVE, don’t give up now! You’ve become the tiger in my lifeboat
