lyrics

Stars like bullet holes in the night sky
Obscured by cartoon clouds
I want to reach my arms skyward
Pick them up and pull them all down
Your soul is an ocean
I want to dive on in
On second thought I might boat over
Because I forgot how to swim

Do you feel okay?
Well, you look okay

God-sized in your hand
Loving every rule that broke you
God-sized in your hand
Loving every rule that broke you down

I'm worried this is contagious
But you keep saying it's fine
You get a wiggle on the tip of your nose
That moves down your back and to the tip of your spine
Just a word of precaution
You better watch where you tread
Otherwise Cupid's arrow might just miss your heart
And go straight through your head

Do you feel okay?
Well, you look okay

God-sized in your hand
Loving every rule that broke you
God-sized in your hand
Loving every rule that broke you down
