Other people's problems. Sexual jealousy, mainly.

lyrics

Dig me out of my bed and wipe me clean
I’m surrounded by parts of a person I refuse to be,
But you’re only just as bad as me.
All the things I never cared about
Are terrifying now,
This is what it feels like to care too much –
That fear? That’s the love.

I know I couldn’t make you happy,
I just wish I got the chance to try
I’m not saying that it’s right
I just wish you were alone tonight
I try to always tell the truth
But some lies sound better when I sing
This really is that weak and selfish
You know how I do, I don’t do anything

Don’t give in to winter,
You don’t need somebody beside you to sleep
But some nights you’ll want one,
Like no one would believe.
Let’s tie ourselves to the same sinking ship
It’s the best that I could do,
I’m giving all the worst of me to you.
‘Cause I’d always rather be an overshare mess
Than bitter, snide and repressed
We passed the dock,
Ploughed straight in to shore –
I can’t be your captain any more.

I’m not looking for a husband or a wife
Or even one perfect night
But someone to tie my hands would be nice.

I don’t want to be the body at the bottom of your lake
I don’t want to be your long-lost husband, presumed dead
I just want to be the easy option, the body at the foot of your bed.
