Sleater-Kinney

Untidy Creature

Lyrics

I heard the click of a tiny catch
I close my eyes and you found the latch
I looked up and saw the bars intact
Locked up tight, the perfect track
A rattle and shake inside
But I can't escape tonight

There was a time when I saw it outside
Followed the air turned left turned right
Now with the move you closed the lock
The world outside, it's what I want
A rattle and shake inside
I push against your arms tonight

Lyrics continue below...

And it feels like we were broken
And I'm holding the pieces so tight
You can try to tell me I'm nothing
And I don't have the wings to fly
But there's too much here that's unspoken
And there's no tomorrow in sight
Could you love me if I was broken?
And there's no going back tonight

Looking neat like a problem to solve
Like an untidy creature that you can't push around
You built a cage but your measurement's wrong
So I'll find a way and I'll pick your lock

And it feels like we're broken
And I'm holding the pieces so tight
You can try to tell me I'm nothing
And I don't have the wings to fly
But there's too much here that's unspoken
And there's no tomorrow in sight
Could you love me if I was broken?
And there's no going back tonight
