[Intro] [Spoken Word](over sparse distorted bass)
I had you figured out... I swear on nothing, I had you figured out...
[Verse 1] [Stripped]
I'd drafted a small effigy of how you'd take your leave of me
Assembled from the times before — I fancied myself an oracle, you see
Then you committed the one gesture I had never charted you to do
And it detonated like a sunrise and it tore me clean in two
[Pre-Chorus] [Building]
You weren't the you I'd manufactured
You moved and I mislaid the thread
And every premise I had pinned you to
Came apart inside my head
[Chorus] [Huge] [Distorted]
The whole thing broke!
The whole thing came apart!
I had you figured, then you moved
And it ripped right through my heart
The whole thing broke!
And I never felt so free
Turns out the thing that breaks you
Is the thing that's setting me
[Verse 2] [Half-time] [Gritty]
I used to crave the dénouement, now I'm clamoring for the twist
'Cause the gap between my guess and you's the only country I exist
I had a tidy answer laminated for whatever you might say
Now I want you unforeseeable — I want you that way every day
[Pre-Chorus] [Building]
You weren't the you I'd manufactured
Thank everything you never stayed
'Cause the second that you lost me
Is the second I was made
[Chorus] [Huge] [Distorted]
The whole thing broke!
The whole thing came apart!
I had you figured, then you moved
And it ripped right through my heart
[Bridge] [Spoken Word] [Beat Switch] [Stripped]
Astonish me... go on, astonish me...
I don't want to know the end
[Build-Up]
Astonish me — astonish me
Let the whole thing break again!
[Final Chorus] [Huge] [Distorted]
The whole thing broke!
(and I never felt so free)[Outro](and I never felt so free... and I never felt so free...)
