"Together" lyrics

Let's hide under the bed tonight like a dirty magazine
We both like being looked at but we don't want to be seen
I'll sing you soft songs on hard drugs
We're both good at sweeping broken things under the rugs

And tonight
I just need to shatter
So you can sweep me up
And choose which pieces matter

Because you know the better parts of me
The kind that no one else can see
Keep me together, keep me together
You know the better parts of me
The kind that no one else can see
Keep me together, keep me together

Like the time I fell into that swimming pool
In a rented three piece suit
If I'd have been like ten years younger
It might have passed for cute
But I came up from underwater feeling old
You said "Let's get you inside before you catch a cold"

And I was heavy as lead
But you have an alchemy
You can dig it out
And melt it down to gold for me

Because you know the better parts of me
The kind that no one else can see
Keep me together, keep me together
You know the better parts of me
The kind that no one else can see
Keep me together, keep me together

Yeah, I was heavy as lead
But you have an alchemy
Yeah, you can dig it out
And melt it down to gold for me
Could you do that again tonight?

And you said...
That sounds real nice
And I'd really love to see you sometime soon
But I'm busy tonight
And I haven't spoke to you since late last June

Sometimes thinking for yourself
Will leave you all alone
