Wrapped my thoughts around your mind
Wrapped your body around mine
Play it back and press rewind
To when you traced your fingers, drew my spine
Lost its beat and so I find
Starve my heart of touch and time
So what do I do now?
I don't keep love around
What do I do now?
I don't keep love around
What do I do now?
I don't keep love around, love around
Love around, love around
When we tried it, we were a fire with no smoke
Rags to riches, but I'm addicted to being broken
Take my breath away, you know I'm bound to choke
When I close my eyes, I still see your ghost
So what do I do now?
I don't keep love around
What do I do now?
I don't keep love around
What do I do now?
I don't keep love around, love around
Love around, love around
I don't keep love around, yeah
I don't keep love around, ooh-yeah
I don't keep love around
Love around, love around
They can't stand, I handstand
Don't hold on right any more
Pleased to meet you, I'm kinda moved, but that last one was my antidote
Green eyes, become green times but there is no first or a last chance
They're telling me to turn down 'cause I'm so lit, recall Flash Dance?
Only A1, and I stay one
And I'm counting out for that day when
Residuals become imminent because failure is not pivotal
They just be asking the same, try switch it up, I switch lanes
No love in this world, I'm still sane
Right because that's enough?
When the lights on and you don't keep love
"Distance makes the heart grow fonder"
Said by someone stronger than me
So what do I do now?
Do now?
So what do I do now?
I don't keep love around anymore
I don't keep love around anymore
I don't keep, I don't keep
Love around
