  I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
  Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
  And if it was an open-shut case / I never would've known from that look on your face
  Lost in your current like a priceless wine
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  The more that you say, the less I know / Wherever you stray, I follow
  I'm begging for you to take my hand / Wreck my plans, that's my man

[Verse 2]
 
  Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
  Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin' in
  As if you were a mythical thing / Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
  And there was one prize I'd cheat to win

[Chorus]
 
  The more that you say, the less I know / Wherever you stray, I follow
  I'm begging for you to take my hand / Wreck my plans, that's my man
  You know that my train could take you home / Anywhere else is hollow
  I'm begging for you to take my hand / Wreck my plans, that's my man

  Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
  They count me out time and time again
  Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
  But I come back stronger than a '90s trend

[Verse 3]
 
  Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark
  Show me the places where the others gave you scars
  Now this is an open-shut case
  I guess I should've known from the look on your face
  Every bait-and-switch was a work of art

  You know that my train could take you home / Anywhere else is hollow
  I'm begging for you to take my hand / Wreck my plans, that's my man

[Outro]
 
  Hey, that's my man / That's my man
  Yeah, that's my man / Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
  That's my man / Hey, that's my man
  I'm begging for you to take my hand / Wreck my plans, that's my man
