Get to You

Get to You


Hey, hey - Mr. Welcoming Big Smile
Is it safe to touch the new coat of paint?
I was told - but hey, what does it matter?
People say just the damdest things, I guess
Well, I guess

Does it get to you
More than you can take?
More than you can take?
Does it get to you
More than you can take?
More than you can take?
Does it get to you
More than you can take?
More than you can take?
Does it get to you?
Does it get to you, yet?

You play with wandering fingers
Despite holding firm your tongue
Braids and bows in delicate rivers
The kind of spider that wants to come undone
Under thumb

Does it get to you
More than you can take?
More than you can take?
Does it get to you
More than you can take?
More than you can take?
Does it get to you
More than you can take?
More than you can take?
Does it get to you?
Does it get to you, yet?

She's got a haunt in your corner
Breathing right against the back of your neck
Go on and make your grand introductions
She still wears what you wanted her to forget
What you left

Does it get to you
More than you can take?
More than you can take?
Does it get to you
More than you can take?
More than you can take?
Does it get to you
More than you can take?
More than you can take?
Does it get to you?
Does it get to you, yet?
