Against The Kitchen Floor - Will Wood
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse]
I don’t owe yo
u my heart
And I don’t ow
e you my body
But you should
know that I’m
sorry
For being ca
reless with yo
u
Lord knows I o
wed you more
That I’m prett
y sure I ever
could give any
body
But I can’t pi
n down what no
rmal people wa
nt from foreig
n objects,
Bottom shelf e
rotic products
, like me
[Pre-chorus]
So I could hol
d your hand bu
t keep you at
arms’ length,
oh,
Hang me from a
branch too hi
gh to climb an
d shake
Less rare than
scarce, less
diamond than r
ough
Unlikely to be
more than jus
t the coal you
fail to crush
[Chorus]
And I-i-i-i-i-
i-i-i-i-i-i-i
swear
I’m really try
ing
Get it togethe
r, Will, know
and do better
It just don’t
come natural t
o me to think
that you’d wan
t me for me
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-
i-i-i-i swear
I’m really try
ing
Oh, I’m sorry,
I promise, I’
m doing my bes
t
I just haven’t
learned how t
o be human as
you are yet
[Verse]
I still don’t
know who you a
re
I only know th
at I’m still l
onely
That morbid so
rt where even
company can’t
cure me
And the more y
ou reassure th
e less I trust
But still you
gave me your h
eart
I only gave yo
u my body
Honestly thoug
ht nobody’d wa
nt it
Let alone noti
ce it’s gone a
nd so I left i
t home but now
, now, now, no
w
[Pre-chorus]
I keep a locke
t with a pictu
re on the back
of my head
Oh, monkey-wre
nch my side vi
ew mirrors, gh
ost my friends
I’ve lived mor
e lives than e
nough, I haven
’t died quite
as much
But I’m not a
real person, j
ust the shit y
ou can’t make
up, and
[Chorus]
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-
i-i-i-i swear
I’m really try
ing
I’m just as ex
posed if I tak
e off my cloth
es
When we make t
he closest thi
ng to love tha
t I’m capable
of and
I-i-i-i-i-i-i
don’t know why
you would car
e
But I’m really
trying
Oh, I’m sorry,
I promise I’m
doing my best
I just haven’t
learned how t
o be human as
you are yet
[Bridge]
Did I really
Have any of th
at gravity? Ma
ybe you’re qui
cksand
Because I real
ly couldn’t te
ll how deep my
footprints we
nt
The vertex of
my redemption
arc, the searc
hing of that v
irgin heart
I’m catatonic
in your arms,
cryin’ “How di
d I cause so m
uch harm?”
I’m down pound
ing my head
Against the ki
tchen floor
Apologizing fo
r my life and
ever entering
yours
Don’t say “I’m
sorry, but th
is can’t go on
”, I know you’
ve got scars o
f your own
But hide my kn
ives before yo
u go, I'll eit
her live or di
e alone
[Chorus]
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-
i-i-i-i swear
I will die try
ing
I’m still in t
he process but
I’m making pr
ogress
I promise I ho
nestly wanna p
rove improveme
nt's possible
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-
i-i-i-i swear
I’m so fucking
sorry
I’m not a good
person, I’m b
arely a person
at all
But someday I’
ll be perfect
and I’ll make
up for it all
(And write a fucking song about it ‘cause it has to be all about Will’s fucking drama,
god damn it! Sorry. Fuck, I’m sorry.)
