[Verse 1]
I'd call you up but you wouldn't understand
I never tell you anything
I never can

It's in the movements you make
It's on your breath
You're a cold blooded killer
Or so you said

[Chorus]
When will I learn?
We are all cheated in time
And oh my god, you put me on the line
You said, “hold your breath and count to nine”

[Interlude]
I laid awake with the light coming in from outside
I'm feeling remnants of the face
Painted three hundred years ago on the ceiling

[Chorus 2]
And it looked just like you
And for a moment I was fooled
Oh my god, you told me all the time
You said, “hold your breath and count to nine”
[Refrain]
You said, “hold your breath and count to nine”
And oh my god, you put me on the line

[Outro]
And it looked just like you
And for a moment I was fooled
And it looked just like you
And for a moment I was fooled

You said, “hold your breath and count to nine”
And oh my god, you put me on the line
