Lyrics

[Dan]
You don’t have to look any further
I’ve been waiting here for you for time
You don’t have to look any further
You’re missing what is right before your eyes

[Dan & Haim]
No one’s gonna stick the pieces together for you
Together for you [x2]

[Dan]
You’ve got your claws buried deep

[Dan & Haim]
Bite down, bite down into me
Bite down, bite down into me
You better sink your teeth before I disappear
Bite down, bite down into me

Ooh, I’m not gonna try
Ooh, I’m not gonna try
Ooh, I’m not gonna try
No, no, no, I’m not gonna try

[Dan]
Oh I’m tryna keep my composure
But every time you shake coming down I die
You’ve been looking, looking me over
I’m tired of waving my arms in the back of the line

[Dan & Haim]
No one’s gonna stick the pieces together for you
Together for you [x2]

Bite down, bite down into me
Bite down, bite down into me
You better sink your teeth before I disappear
Bite down, bite down into me

Cuz there are only so many times
That I can come a-running
And there are only so many times
That I can come a-running for you

Bite down, bite down into me
Bite down, bite down into me
You better sink your teeth before I disappear
Bite down, bite down into me

Bite down, bite down into me
Bite down, bite down into me
You better sink your teeth before I disappear
Bite down, bite down into me

Ooh, I’m not gonna try
Ooh, I’m not gonna try
Ooh, I’m not gonna try
No, no, no, I’m not gonna try
