lyrics

The day the doctor ordered me, I had him keep your wildest dreams in mind
Cause honey, you are in all mine
You’ve been a beating on the reins of my brain
But I am yours by design
I am yours by design

There’s not a whole lot more to me
Already spun out on the way but made it alive
With a face full of road signs
You’ve done a number one me, I can’t explain
But I am yours by design
You are about as fine as wine, you know what that does to me
I am broken glass and you just love to dance on me
You walk a winding line, you know I love it
I am made of glass and you have got a hold on me

Why don’t we go and tell the holy ghost
I don’t know how long it’s been but I hope we have longer to go
You’re so intoxicating, I can’t abstain
But I am yours, I am yours by design

You go down nice, and what I crave I cannot kick
Fine, fine wine, the kind that makes me so, so sick
You are all mine, and you know the line does not exist by design

You are about as fine as wine, you know what that does to me
There’s not a whole lot more to see
Already spun out on the way but made it alive
With a face full of road signs
Dark shadows still cast and parasites move fast when they’ve
Got somewhere dead they’re dying to die

And so I pull in tight, love and point my white glove
I wanna find out where you’re spending tonight, night love
It ain’t airtight, love but you can’t fight love
You can take me down a notch if you like, like love
You’ve done a number on me, I can’t explain
But I am yours
