Mental Gymnastics

Held out your hand like I'm falling in water
Forgot who I was, I'm just somebody's daughter
And I stare at the floor with my head on your shoulder
And you whisper to me while you step to the right
And the floor is the grass by the steps of a garden
And the road is the path to the hotel light

I'm not doing this, I'd never go through with it
I'd kill him for this, I'm such a fucking hypocrite
So close to the flame, so hard to explain
When I have everything

Where do you go, where do you go when you have it?
Suddenly you're in somebody's arms, doin' backflips
Know that you won't, know that you could blow the magic
But if you do, what'll be left for you to salvage?
Lucky for you, I'm good at
Lucky for you, I'm good at mental gymnastics

Like testing devotion
And nobody's askin', but everyone knows it
From the door, to the room with the chair by the window
To the fire in your hand that you lay in mine
And before we can blink, tonight is tomorrow
Moment's in motion, but moments die

I'm not doing this, I'd never go through with it
I'd kill him for this, I'm such a fucking hypocrite
So close to the flame, so hard to explain
When I have everything

Where do you go, where do you go when you have it?
Suddenly you're in somebody's arms, doin' backflips
Know that you won't, know that you could blow the magic
But if you do, what'll be left for you to salvage?
Lucky for you, I'm good at
Lucky for you, I'm good at mental gymnastics ('nastics)

Lucky for you, I'm seein' the future
I know what happens if I don't leave here
It's 2020, I feel the splinters
If I don't step back, if I don't listen
Lucky for you, I'm seein' the future
I know what happens if I don't leave here
It's 2020, I feel the splinters
If I don't step back, if I don't listen
