Almond-Coated

Hold your breath as long as you can
It's an easy way to hold up time
Or wait for things you don't want
But can't get and never really will

I took my time finding out about you
I'm really glad I did
Don't tell me now that you're my girl
You are not my girl

Don't offer me something
In any southern urgency
I'll give you back your heart
If you give me back my dignity

I took my time finding out about you
I'm really glad I did

Don't tell me now that you're my girl
You are not my girl

Your time is running out and you're feeling all alone
You're scrambling now just to make anything your own
But I know why your heart's up in the sky
It's up for business, take whatever you can get

Hold your breath, you're facing
A lovely smell through today
