Think I just remembered something

I think I left the faucet running

Now my words are filling up the tub

Darling, you're just soaking in it

But I know you'll get out the minute

You notice all your fingers pruning up

 

I'm tired of being careful, gentle, trying to keep the water warm

Let me under your skin

Uh-oh, there it goes, I said too much, it overflowed

Why do I always spill?

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I'd never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

Think I got myself in trouble

So I fill the bath with bubbles

Then I'll put the towels all away

Should've never said the word "love"

Threw a toaster in the bathtub

I'm sick of all the games I have to play

 

I'm tired of being careful, gentle, trying to keep the water warm

Let me under your skin

Uh-oh, there it goes, I said too much, it overflowed

Why do I always spill?

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I'd never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I'd never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap.
