[Intro]
(Part 1 x2)

(1) Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
That's all I need
(2) Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down

(3) And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask for the sea

[Part 1] x2

(1) Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need
(2) Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down

(3) And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask...

(4) What I give to you
Is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No, no, just another phase of finding
what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
Like a new disease
But lord she's still too young to treat

(1) She's still too young/ Volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young
Is not real/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young
What I am to you/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young
You do not need/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young
She's still too young/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young

You do not need me
