Ribcage Lyrics by Nussy Andrews

Ugly Duckling

2021

I’m the snowflake tapping on your window when it’s cold
Melt me in your arms, unlock my rib cage, free my soul
Not to oppose you save me dear but I’m slowly drowning deeply in the gallons of my fear
And though I know you wanna wait for me
I fear that it's already still too late for me

And I can’t have you now
I wish I knew how to love you
In case I wanted to
But maybe it’s just too late to unlock my rib cage

I’m a salt water slug nothing burns me deep enough
Still I can’t stand a second in the downpour of your love
I could compose a sweeter song
In an attempt to convince myself there’s nothing wrong
But all my chords take a bitter turn
And before I cross the bridge here
The melody comes to burn me

I can’t have you now
I wish I knew how to love you
Just in case I wanted to
But maybe it’s just too late to unlock my rib cage

I am melting inside
Where can the river of my heart go
Once you melt my inner snow
I’m so scared
Maybe it’s too late to unlock my rib cage
Maybe it’s too late to unlock my rib cage

You’ll never know where I go when I sleep walk
Even I only start to get a sense as I wake up
I’m sure I could have loved you
If you only broke me down enough
But here’s the deal my dear
If I’m not whole should I even have your love

[Vocalizations]

It’s not to say you won't ever be enough
But just know my heart is frozen even when it has your love
