lyrics

You were talking about God
in a bed without sheets
a hand rolled cigarette
with Heaven up yourself

Kissing so ferociously
I could not comprehend
That God himself was leaving
Burnt offerings on my neck

I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya

I was dancing in the wrong bra
You were looking like a rockstar
I was gin infused, with nothing to lose
I always seem to play the fool

But you watched me as I stayed there,
the place with all my curbed cares
Black dress, red lips
& the night that lead to this, so

I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya

And hickeys from God
Never seem to last long
They stain you with an imprint
And they leave you with a song
And hickeys from God
Never seem to last that long
But they stain you with an imprint
and they leave you with a song

I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
I don't wanna own ya
I only wanna know ya
