Replacement Parts

Sometimes my bones feel too clumsy for my skin The skin that can’t forgive the scar on my hip The one that you trace with your hands Sometimes my brain can’t make up its mind A broken switch, a down power line A radio cutting in and out My swingset mood swinging up and down It’s just another thing that I can’t fix Like the broken clasp on my favorite necklace The loneliness that anchors me to bed [Chorus] But you could cut it out of me Replace the parts I’ve rusted out that I don’t need Erase all the stupid things I say The things that don’t work out the way we planned And I know I make myself miserable Sleep too much to see how it feels When I wake up and everything’s heavier But you know that you do the same Stay up in bed until all of the things You don’t want to think are tangled up inside your sheets It’s just another thing that I don’t need Like loneliness or the wisdom teeth That are constantly pressing on my head [Chorus] Well, you could cut it out of me Replace the parts I’ve rusted out that I don’t need Erase all the stupid things I say The things that don’t work out the way we planned And you know how I work I’m clumsy with everything I break my own heart But I promise if you lend me yours I won’t let it fall I won’t let it fall [Chorus] Well, you could cut it out of me Replace the parts I’ve rusted out that I don’t need Erase all the stupid things I say The things that don’t work out the way we planned The way we planned The way we planned
