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
