Mess Me Up-Neon Trees

Tell me you've been distracted Just say you hate what's happened But tell me you can't be what I need LA is so dramatic But I'm learning to like the traffic It's given me time to hum new melodies Like how you're so ice cold to me I can feel you in my bloodstream killing things You're so ice cold to me I can feel you in my heartbeat my heartbeat So if you're gonna mess me up don't do it slowly And if you're gonna lead me on then act like you know me And if you're gonna get me addicted you have my permission I think I know how these things go If you're gonna mess me up don't do it slow And tell me you're busy working Or tell me a fire is burning And tell me you can't be what I need You can't be what I need The city's so dramatic But I'm getting much better at acting I've got no time to think of memories Like how you're so ice cold to me I can feel you in my bloodstream killing things You're so ice cold to me I can feel you in my heartbeat my heartbeat Between the empty s*x and cigarettes I think of you between the breaths I wanna know what's happening I wanna know why the phone won't ring So if you're gonna mess me up don't do it slowly If you're gonna lead me on then act like you know me And if you're gonna get me addicted you have my permission I think I know how these things go If you're gonna mess me up don't do it slow Keep on messing me messing me up oh-oh You keep on messing me messing me up oh-oh Keep on messing me messing me up Between the empty s*x and cigarettes Keep on messing me messing me up I think of you between the breaths If you're gonna get me addicted you've had my permission I think I know how these things go If you're gonna mess me up don't do it slow Yeah if you're gonna mess me up don't do it slow
