I know how the wind's gonna blow

I'm trying to be something you need

I know how the world loves you so

but I'll keep you tucked in my sleeve

I need you to follow me home

I don't care if you later leave

I need you, love, like I need a broken bone

I just need to live it to believe

I know how the wind's gonna blow

I'm trying to be something you need

I know how the world loves you so

but I'll keep you tucked in my sleeve

 I'll peel my skin away if you ask me to

fit myself to a mold to know your name

Just in this dimness I'm perfect for you

My heart, my words, they're finally the same

I know how the wind's gonna blow

I'm trying to be something you need

I know how the world loves you so

but I'll keep you tucked in my sleeve

You haven't left yet, keep me closer than ever

gunshots veiled by your skin

Drag them out, leave me covered in holes

I'll still rip my sleeve, pull you in

I know how the wind's gonna blow

I'm trying to be something you need

I know how the world loves you so

but I'll keep you tucked in my sleeve

Sleepwalker, you slip out before morning bleeds

I'll wake to an empty sorrow

You'll be the ghost everyone knows they need

but when you go you leave me hollow
