Tell Me How It Is Lyrics by HOLYCHILD

The Shape of Brat Pop to Come

2015

[Verse 1]
I found you in my dreams, running between the sheets
I follow touches from your fingers twisting all over my skin
I try for everything, to be your girl and king
Perfection never shines its light on me but still I chase the sun

We're always breaking through our love and what we do
'Cause when it happens off the screen it can't be right
You might be more than me, you say you want me free
You cannot know me, no you cannot

[Chorus]
Tell me how it is
When you can go away
You know that there is everything I will not say
Tell me how it is
When you will know my face
You know that nothing scares me the way you scare me, now

[Verse 2]
I'm fighting with my mind along this lonely grind
Don't tell me truth, I'm running far so I don't even have to know
Remember when we met, I thought you'd never let
A broken girl like me run wild in your perfect little world

I don't believe you're true, I'm fighting all of you
To understand my plight against the shiny
I'll never trust it all, but boy it's not your fault
You cannot know me, no, you cannot

[Chorus]
Tell me how it is
When you can go away
You know that there is everything I will not say
Tell me how it is
When you will know my face
You know that nothing scares me the way you scare me
Tell me how it is
When you can go away
You know that there is everything I will not say
Tell me how it is
When you will know my face
You know that nothing scares me the way you scare me, now

[Bridge]
Can't you see there's something mad about us?
Birthing truth when nothing matters but lust
Don't be sure of what you see, oh no
I'm not sure of who we'll be, oh no
Can't you see there's something mad about us?

[Chorus]
Tell me how it is
When you can go away
You know that there is everything I will not say
Tell me how it is
When you will know my face
You know that nothing scares me the way you scare me
Tell me how it is
When you can go away
You know that there is everything I will not say
Tell me how it is
When you will know my face
You know that nothing scares me the way you scare me, now
