"Picture Of You (X+W)" lyrics

"Picture Of You (X+W)"

My cell is ringing, no ID
I want to know who's calling
My garden's overgrown
I go out on my belly's crawling
He's crawling
I got CCTV, pornography, CNBC
I got the nightly news to
Get to know the enemy

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is a picture in a locket
Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it

I'm going nowhere
Where I am, it is a lot of fun
There in the desert
To dismantle an atomic bomb
I watch you shadow-box
Check the stocks
I'm in detox
Want the lot of what you've got
If what you've got can make this stop

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is a picture in a locket
Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it

Take me, save me from myself
I know that you've been good to me
Now, I need you not to be
Wake me. I feel like I've been asleep
Try not to look so bored
You're buying things you can't afford
I got yours, and I know you want mine
Xanax and wine

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your picture in a locket
Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it

Take me, save me from myself
I know that you've been good to me
Now, I need you not to be
Wake me. I feel like I've been asleep
I'm buying things I can't afford
I'm on a high-diving board
I got yours, and I know you want mine
Xanax and wine

Don't you worry 'bout your mind
'Cause I worry all the time
Don't you worry, you'll be fine
You should worry 'bout the day
That the pain, it goes away
You know I miss mine sometimes

There is no fiction that will truly fit this situation
I'm documenting every detail, every conversation
Not used to talking to somebody in their body
Somebody in a body
It's somebody in a body
In a body, there's somebody
Somebody in a body
Somebody in a body
There's somebody
