  • Chewing gum, I know
    Don't have the sour taste that's in my throat
    But the voice in my head says, "Do you have the stones?"
    When you get close enough
    I'll let down my braids and you'll climb up
    In my room we can do anything you want

    Everyone that I've slept with
    All the pairs of hands, I'm reckless
    If I'm fine without it, why can't I stop?
    Everything I want speeding up my pulse
    I don't sleep, don't dream at all
    Give 'em nothing personal
    So I'm not affected

    I've been the ice, I've been the flame
    I've been the prize, the ball and chain
    I've been the dice, the magic eight
    So I'm not affected
    I've been the siren, been the saint
    I've been the fruit that leaves a stain
    I've been up on the pedestal
    But tonight I just wanna fall

    Tonight I just wanna fall
    Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall

    Mirror, mirror, on his shirt
    I see a hot mess in an antique skirt
    But the voice in my head says, "Don't let him leave alone"
    I become her again (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
    Visions of a teenage innocence (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
    How'd I shift shape like that?

    Everyone that I've slept with
    All the metal that I've messaged
    If I'm fine without it, why can't I stop?
    Everything I want speeding up my pulse
    I don't sleep, don't dream at all
    Give 'em nothing personal
    So I'm not affected

    I've been the ice, I've been the flame
    I've been the prize, the ball and chain
    I've been the dice, the magic eight
    So I'm not affected
    I've been the siren, been the saint (oh, she's a)
    I've been the fruit that leaves a stain (shapeshifter)
    I've been up on the pedestal
    But tonight I just wanna fall

    Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
    Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall

    I'll kick you out and pull you in
    And say that you were just a friend
    And when it's all over again
    Say I'm not affected
    I'll kick you out and pull you in (oh, she's a)
    Swear that you were just a friend (shapeshifter)
    And when it's all over again (ah-ah)
    Say I'm not affected (ah-ah)

    Ah-ah
    Ah-ah
    No, I'm not affected
    But tonight, I just wanna fall (I'm not affected) Writer/s: Andrew Aged, Ella Marija Lani Yelich O'Connor, James Harmon Stack
