She is the song that you tried to sing
Another note that you couldn't hit
So you locked her up in a music box
Turn the key on all of us

She's got silver strings in the dark
With metal teeth that ring in her heart
When the cover drops the world just fades
Away away away from her
Waiting waiting waiting for her
To sing it

Doesn't matter what you say
Doesn't matter what you think you need
You know our love's not unconditional
A book of matches and a cigarette
A love note that you never sent
You can fold it up but you won't forget
You can strike a match but it still might not light
Now I'm the one that's stuck inside, the silver cage
The bird that can't fly away
Clip it's wings if it sings of the
Way the way the way that it hurts
waiting waiting waiting for her
To sing it

Doesn't matter what you say
Doesn't matter what you think you need
You know our love's not unconditional

Doesn't matter what you say
Doesn't matter what you think you need
You know our love's not unconditional

The music box is open
It's spinning with the room
If you're the record playing
I'm needle in the groove
Listen to us now

you're in my heart, in my hands, in my lungs
we move like a carousel, streaked lights and mirrors in our eyes
it's time to let this go
can't stop spinning around[x10]

you know our love's not unconditional
unconditional love, unconditional
you know our love's not unconditional
