[Verse 1] I click “buy now” before I know What little ache I’m trying to sew A bright new thing, a borrowed hour Then cardboard blooms beside the flowers [Pre-Chorus] I call it want, I call it need I feed the spark, it grows a weed [Chorus] I spend, I bite, I fall too fast Trying to make the hollow pass Your hand, a feast, a shining thing I take the rush; it wears off thin [Verse 2] I make a promise in a rush Then wake beneath the after-flush One more sweet mouthful, one more kiss I chase the part I think I miss [Pre-Chorus] The bright relief comes quick and leaves A little silence underneath [Chorus] I spend, I bite, I fall too fast Trying to make the hollow pass Your hand, a feast, a shining thing I take the rush; it wears off thin [Bridge] Maybe the hunger has a name Maybe I’m tired of feeding flame I can feel the urge arrive And let it pass without a price [Final Chorus] I spend, I bite, I fall too fast But I can see the pattern now Your hand, a feast, a shining thing I want the truth beneath the want [Outro] The urge comes through; I let it be A wave that doesn’t get to own me
