What's it been? Over a decade?

It still smarts like it was four minutes ago
It still smarts like it was four minutes ago
We only influenced each other, totally
We only influenced each other, totally
We only bruised each other, even more so

How long can a girl be shackled to you?

My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again
My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again
What are you, my God?

You touch me like you are my God
You touch me like you are my God
What are you, my twin?
What are you, my twin?
You affect me like you are my twin
You affect me like you are my twin

So here I am, one room away from where I know you're standing
So here I am, one room away from where I know you're standing

But he knows the color of the car I just drove away in
But he knows the color of the car I just drove away in
What are you, my kin?
What are you, my child?
You touch me like you are my kin
You touch me like you are my child
