Gemini

I′m a myth and I'm a legend

Who never winsAnd might not ever play again

Keep falling in

Life′s so fast, and I gotta get

Speeding, when I should ease in?

Oh, I know myself, my sins

Dug my pit, then I fell in

Pulled that trigger, killed us both

Lesson learned, but truth gets old

Little of Heaven, little unpleasant

I don't know

Little love, pleasure, little depression

I don't know

Little of Heaven, little unpleasant

I don′t know

How I can tell if? How I can measure

If I don′t know?

I looked up at the ceiling as I draft my "I'm so sorry" text

Don′t regret the boys I chose, but do regret the mess I made

I see you hurt, I wish I could just hold you tight, and close

Don't need long, just want to say, "I love you and miss you more"

Oh, I know myself, my skin

Rolling stones don′t crawl back in

Daddy's faults fell down on me

Break that curse for sweet relief

Little of Heaven, little unpleasant

I don′t know

Little love, pleasure, little depression

I don't know

Little of Heaven, little unpleasant

I don't know

How I can tell if? How I can measure

If I don′t know?

Mercury running amuck in my mind

Can′t tell if I'm winning or falling behind

Venus in retrograde got me in bed

And thinking about all of the shit that I said

Gemini Scope give me depth ′til I'm dead

But I can′t seem to get the fuck out of my head

But fuck it, I'll just cop a Porsche instead

I do as I please, and you see where we′re lead

Get something better, 'bout to happen to me

You think I'm two-faced, I could name 23

My layers, all these sides

Could you stick by for the ride?

It′s a thrill, and I don′t even know how to feel

It might be too real, might be too

Real, might be too real, real

I said, might be too

I said, might be too real, real

I said, might be too real

Excuse me if I lied

I forgot I said that

Can you forgive my tongue?

I'll show where my head at

I don′t think I'm the one

But I could be your girlfriend

′Til retrograde is done
