4 ContributorsHead in a Jar Lyrics

[Intro]

I want you

Head in a Jar

I—

[Verse 1]

First thing in the morning

Of course you put on that U.M. sweater

Just like you always do

Tears drip from a faucet

And Dexter play on that television

Just like it always do

[Pre-Chorus]

You put the volume on the lowest

For the neighbors down below

But I'm stuck in place

Eyes wide, glued to you

Walk away, outgrow you

Then how am I to know you

I'm the closest here that I've been to you

[Chorus]

'Cause you keep my head in a jar

Here on your night stand

I'll spend my life left

With my head in a jar

If it's the shelf or gone, then

Least I'll be something to you

[Verse 2]

A mind's a prison

No body, don't got nobody

Strictly homebody

I try my best not to trip

But these walls are paper thin

Every now and then

I hear voices in the wind

Wooden floors creak

The death of what could've been

[Pre-Chorus]

You put the volume on the lowest

For our neighbors down below

But I'm stuck in place

Eyes wide, glued to you

Walk away, outgrow you

Then how am I to know you

I'm the closest here that I've been to you

[Chorus]

'Cause you keep my head in a jar

Here on your night stand

I'll spend my life left

With my head in a jar

If it's the shelf or gone, then

Least I'll be something to you

If it's the shelf or gone, then

Least I'll be something to you

If it’s the shelf or gone, then

Least I’ll be something to you

[Outro]

It's in the way you give someone

A real embrace

That puts me in my place

My place

And though goodbye's long overdue

Hopelessly I wait

Here in my place

My place

I want you

I—

I—

I want you
