Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
My body is a foreign land
You were walking through the sand
The tide, it swells but won't subside
A vessel waiting to capsize
Your feet will sink, they won't stay dry
Go, go ahead, give it a try
If you pin me down under your thumb
You should hide and you should run
[Chorus]
Oh my, oh my God
Heaven knows you took this too far
Who the hell do you think you are?
You won't fall in love
I've gotta walk away from him
Just go, go, go
But oh my God (Oh my God)
[Verse 2]
If I could dress myself in iron clothes
Weigh out cons instead of pros
You won't have seen me at my best
You wouldn't have to hold your breath
I wouldn't have the dizzy spells
You wouldn't have to walk on shells
If you pin me down under your thumb
Boy, you should hide and you should run
[Chorus]
Oh my, oh my God
Heaven knows you took this too far
Who the hell do you think you are?
You won't fall in love
I've gotta walk away from him
Just go, go, go
But oh my God (Oh my God)
[Bridge]
I know I wanna be
When you were next to me
I know that I should go but I can't turn away, no
Patterns we have to break, chances we shouldn't take
Seas of more mistakes and I wish for a life of love (Oh my God)
[Chorus]
Oh my, oh my God
Heaven knows you took this too far
Who the hell do you think you are?
You won't fall in love
I've gotta walk away from him
Just go, go, go
But oh my God
[Verse 1]
My body is a foreign land
You were walking through the sand
The tide, it swells but won't subside
A vessel waiting to capsize
Your feet will sink, they won't stay dry
Go, go ahead, give it a try
If you pin me down under your thumb
You should hide and you should run
[Chorus]
Oh my, oh my God
Heaven knows you took this too far
Who the hell do you think you are?
You won't fall in love
I've gotta walk away from him
Just go, go, go
But oh my God
[Verse 2]
If I could dress myself in iron clothes
Weigh out cons instead of pros
You won't have seen me at my best
You wouldn't have to hold your breath
I wouldn't have the dizzy spells
You wouldn't have to walk on shells
If you pin me down under your thumb
Boy, you should hide and you should run
[Chorus]
Oh my, oh my God
Heaven knows you took this too far
Who the hell do you think you are?
You won't fall in love
I've gotta walk away from him
Just go, go, go
But oh my God
