about

"jaws" is about falling in love, which can sometimes feel like you're getting viciously abused, but in the best way possible. i've never actually seen the movie jaws all the way through but the poster is in my basement and i was looking at it a lot while i was writing this song, plus there's a lot of violent/oceanic imagery so why not ya know???

lyrics

LYRICS:
can you see me shaking in the dark?
i test the air, you hit your mark
you throw a line to me, and boy you’ve never missed
i pull you back again, you hit me with a fist

stitches are covering my chin
but i still speed to you again
you’re a glacier in my chest that doesn’t seem to melt
take off my seat belt
if you stay here long enough, i’ll let you

crush my lungs
squeeze out the air
break me and
see how little i care
crush my lungs
do what you may
i’m all torn up
but i like it that way

your smile chokes me on first sight
your laugh’s like starting up a fight
but you’ve got teeth, and now we’re talking up the town
i wanna tear it down
yeah, you’ve been here long enough, so you can

crush my lungs
squeeze out the air
break me and
see how little i care
crush my lungs
do what you may
i’m all torn up
but i like it that way

you build me up eternally
i crumble at your words, you see
you’re perfect, like a great movie
i wanna know behind the scenes
i’m drowning
in your thoughts and your hypotheses
i knew that falling hurt, but you can make it feel like zero g’s

just give me a hand when you push me
i know i’ll get better and you deserve me
and i deserve you too
you don’t need second chances when you’re so perfect in the way that you

crush my lungs
squeeze out the air
break me and
see how little i care
crush my lungs
do what you may
i’m all torn up
but i like it that way
